The candle symbolize in the above excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich is death.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Leo Tolstoy was the greatest Russian writer and author of all time. It is considered that he's having secret a unique way of writing. In his work, "The death of Ivan Ilyich" he used the image of dark and light. He referred the candle to symbolize his imminent death of Ivan in the story.

Ivan was sick for a long and his life is approaching death as soon as possible. In this line, he explained about the view of life and death.  In the darkness, there was huge pain due to the illness. So he tried to light the candle as it extinguishes so as his life.

Thus he can be really free from the pain and he tried to light the candle up. He failed and kept on falling into the darkness again. Also, there is the true essence of light in the candlelight. That is there is a light after death since his life in the physical world has ended. That, in turn, leads a path towards the Spiritual world.

valentinak56 [21]

Industrialization quickly changed the landscape of the United States and other countries in the 19th century. Construction materials, like steel and iron were needed for buildings, factories, and railroads. Oil was discovered to be a great source of fuel. The Spindletop Geyser in Beaumont, Texas was discovered in 1901, and over 1000 oil companies were chartered. 8 years later, the U.S.'s oil production was more than the rest of the world's oil production combined.

What is an effect that Greece's geography has on the food ancient Greeks ate.
expeople1 [14]
Only 1/4 (25%) of Greece is arable (farmable) land, so the Greeks relied heavily on fish and other seafood for survival. Also, olive trees are native to the area so their diet was and still is based on a lot of dishes involving olives, olive oil, and wine.

Answer:  Choice C.

They worried that Lincoln would try to end slavery in the United States.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The issue of slavery was debated and fought over for many years before the election of 1860. It was only until Lincoln became president that sparked the southern states to secede, which led to the Civil War. Proof of this is found in the many Declaration of Secession documents produced by each state that left the union. This is basically a document explaining why they left the United States to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) aka the Confederacy.

In modern times, some people mistakenly claim that the Civil War wasn't over slavery but rather states' rights. This is simply false. The documents I mentioned prove that slavery was the core issue. More proof is the various states having issues with the fugitive slave act, in that the northern states didn't really adhere to the law to the level of the southern states' liking. I guess you could argue that states' rights were involved, but specifically the south fought to have the right to own slaves. In short, it's all about getting the correct context. Expanding that context, simply look at the decades preceding the war and notice all of the tension involving whether a new state was a free state vs a slave state.
