The correct answer is C.) Human mortality is inevitable, and it is important to live an authentic life.

Indeed, Ivan thinks he has lived a rightful life, a life where he has behaved honorably and has risen in society to a position of some wealth and influence. However, his wife does not love him and is completely self-centered. His daughter shows the exact same attitude and only his son does show some compassion.

The only person he feels some kind of warmth from is, Gerasim, his peasant servant boy who keeps him company as he is lying on his deathbed. Gerasim also does not share his fear of death due to his Christian faith and his detachment from the materialism of life since he is quite destitute and death would be a liberation.

Ivan discovers through Gerasim’s example that he has lived a materialistic shallow life; a life of conformity to societal norms. He realizes that the only way a life can be authentic is to show compassion and sympathy for other human beings.

<h3>What happens in chapter nine of the story?</h3>

In chapter nine of 'Animal Farm,' the manipulation of the story, and the language by Squealer is depicted illustrates that the food must be readjusted so that the shortage during the cold can be distributed equally among the animals.

The readjustment of the food is linked to the tax hike or the increased government funding so that the actuality of the matter can be directed in a less serious tone.

Which pair of sentences would be most appropriate to combine using a conjunction
Irina18 [472]

An independent clause and a dependent clause.

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence (i.e., it expresses a complete thought). However,  a dependent clause (or subordinate clause) is one that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. Cause it is not a complete thought, it is dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a sentence. The link between a dependent clause and an independent clause will often be a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun.
