I believe the tone is kind of sad. The mood the author wanted to make was sadness. He wanted you to image him when he was younger. (i hope this helped)
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>3. Ivan Ilyich recognizes and hates the false propriety in Praskovya Fedorovna, a false nature that he himself once had. Ivan has led a false life, and only now, on the verge of death, does he realize it. The vicinity of death changes his perspective. He sees the world with different eyes, and that is why he loathes his wife - because he recognizes in her all the features that he himself had had. He knows that she kisses him only because it is a proper behavior, something a wife should do to her ill husband.</span>
