Answer:

The kind of literary device Huck is using in the sentence is:  simile.

Explanation:

A simile is a literary device used when we want to compare something to something else in order to imply that the two things have a similarity. It has, thus, the same purpose as a metaphor, with the difference that the simile relies on words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison, while the metaphor does not. Huck is using a simile to compare the Spanish moss to gray beards in the way they hang down from the trees:

"<u>trees with Spanish moss on them, hanging down from the limbs</u> like <u>long, gray beards"</u>

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

1. Ivan Ilyich wanted to weep, wanted to be petted and cried over, and then his colleague Shebek would come, and instead of weeping and being petted, Ivan Ilyich would assume a serious, severe, and profound air.

2. "This falsity around him and within him did more than anything else to poison his last days

Explanation:

According to the given excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich, the author talks about the life and death of Ivan Ilyich and how the falsity around him helped hasten his death.

The two sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich that reflects the author's belief that Russia's rising middle class was unable to express genuine emotion are the statement that Ivan Ilyich would want to express emotions of sadness and crying but when his comrade came over, he would pretend and assume to be serious and unbothered, and the statement about the falsity around Ivan Ilyich poisoned hisast days.
