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.

The type of appeal used in President Obama’s statement is clearly  <em>Argument </em>

Argument  in literature is the main idea of a story, a speech or a poem.  

…<em>"To attract new businesses to our shores, we need the fastest, most reliable ways to move people, goods, and information—from high-speed rail to high-speed Internet….” </em>

This statement is clearly the main idea of the speech from which he developed all the reasons and arguments to support it. This statement also serves as an introduction with the purpose of attracting the readers or the listeners, to the subject that is going to be developed.

Then, he uses a conclusive sentence to wrap up the arguments already mentioned.  

<em>…”This isn't just about faster Internet or fewer dropped calls. It's about connecting every part of America to the digital age…" </em>
