Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past li

fe? "But if that is so," he said to himself, "and I am leaving this life with the consciousness that I have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then?" He lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. In the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. In them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. This consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. He groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. And he hated them on that account. He was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. He drove everybody away and tossed from side to side. His wife came to him and said: "Jean, my dear, do this for me. It can't do any harm and often helps. Healthy people often do it." He opened his eyes wide. "What? Take communion? Why? It's unnecessary! However..." She began to cry. "Yes, do, my dear. I'll send for our priest. He is such a nice man." "All right. Very well," he muttered. When the priest came and heard his confession, Ivan Ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. He again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. He received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.

What do the stage directions reveal about the motives for the behavior of Thomas Putnam and Reverend Parris? Cite specific detai
bonufazy [111]

Hello. You did not show the stage directions to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Stage directions are instructions from the author of a play about how the actors should act, move and what emotion or idea they must convey through the performance. In this case, it is only possible to know what the instructions indicate about the two characters, by reading these instructions. A stage direction, for example, can show that the actor must show nervousness, or distrust in a certain scene, which shows that the character behaves with nervousness and mistrust.

The way I'd change it would be :

'Great White Sharks are quite fascinating creatures if you research the history that goes along with them. Their records are very ancient and they are one of the longest existing species to live on this earth today!'

It's a bit on the scientific side, but I hope I helped even a little.

30 POINTS JUST PLZ FIND THE ANSWER Mr. Gomez made sure we understood fractions we than began algebra. what punctuation mark is m
Anna [14]

Answer:

The answer is B, a semicolon.

Mr. Gomez made sure we understood fractions; we then began algebra.

Explanation:

A sentence uses a semicolon when it does not have the word "and", "but", "because", etc.

In this example, if it were to say "Mr Gomez made sure we understood the fractions and we then began algebra", It would need a comma.

Because this sentence continues without that word "and", it needs a semicolon. This is because it is two separate sentences within one sentence.

I hope this helps :)
