Among the sentences in the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I think the statement that shows that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of his earlier life is: "Ivan Ilyich knows quite well and definitely that all this is nonsense and pure deception, but when the doctor, getting down on his knee, leans over him, putting his ear first higher then lower, and performs various gymnastic movements over him with a significant expression on his face, Ivan Ilyich submits to it all as he used to submit to the speeches of the lawyers, though he knew very well that they were all lying and why they were lying." This is because in his earlier life before he was terminally ill, he too also submitted to the lawyers in order to work his way up on the social ladder.

"This latter effect heightened by an unnatural glow which colored his face like a low, incessant fever."
Explanation:
The above sentence from the given excerpt most likely displays that Gordon Sterrett was extremely appalled by his shabby appearance. There is a detailed description of his appearance in the excerpt as 'small, slender, and darkly handsome, unusually framed eyes with long eyelashes with a blue semicircle of ill health' which clearly justifies Gordon's embarrassment to see him. The negative words 'unnatural glow', 'low face', and 'incessant fever' supports this claim effectively and justifies it constructively.
Answer:
Oedipus ran to Thebes to prevent the oracle from happening.
Explanation:
When Oedipus was called a child with no father by some person, he became determined to learn about his origin. This led to his sojourn to the oracle of Apollo. At the oracle, Oedipus was told that he would kill his father and sleep with his mother.
To prevent the prophecy from coming true, Oedipus went to Thebes and on his way he killed a man named Laius who unbeknownst to him was his father. He married his mother, Jocasta, the queen and widow of Thebes who bore him four children. In that way, he fulfilled the prophecy.
