There is a famous phrase in <em>The Death of Ivan Ilych</em> that says:

<em>"Ivan Ilych's life had been most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible."</em>

Tolstoy thinks Ivan's life had been the most terrible because it lacked meaningful goals and deep connections to people. Ivan lived in the way that society deemed acceptable and admirable, which means that he was dominated by ambition, social status, and the desire to always achieve more and want more in order to be better than others. His only goals in life were to climb the social ladder and tolerate his unhappy marriage. His social relations were not built for meaningful reasons. Instead, they were a consequence of social convention. All of these reasons blinded him to the important things in life, making his life terrible.

Okay, I've read over both questions a few times and I think I know the answers:

The first question would be "Taking" because everything else in that sentence points to a past tense except for the word "taking" which is a present tense thus meaning its inconsistent with the sentence.

The second question would be "After we moved to montana" because its why they had to build the log cabin.

I hope my answers are correct and I wish you luck on your test!

It would most likely be B or C since they are the same. Dashes basically show emphasis and if the sentence inside them is taken away, the other parts of the sentence are not affected. If we took the lion part out of your sentence, the sentence would still be talking about symbolism. However it more common to use parenthesis or commas to add emphasis but that's just stylistic choice
