Paragraph 31
''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt quite feverish.''

He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.
- With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.

Explanation:
The sentence above supports the idea that the United States should explore space as this would benefit humanity.
It does this by insinuating that if the United States are not the ones to lead humanity into space, a situation may arise where such exploration would be a force of ill and a terrifying theatre of war. If the U.S. were to lead it however, it would be a force of good and a sea of peace.
