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.
If you need to make up a sentence so that it should have a parallel structure it means that the second part of the sentence must have the same pattern of words. It is needed to emphasize that both parts of the sentence have the same importance.

Answer:
The statement which is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt is:
A. Heating was a generally known means of reading invisible ink.
Explanation:
<u>According to the excerpt, James Jay's invisible ink would "elude the generally known means of detection." What was that means? Heating, as is stated right before the sentence. Heating was so well know that Jay was sure the enemy would try to use it to reveal the writings in the messages. However, his new ink would not appear with heating. It needed another chemical to be made visible.</u>
We can easily eliminate the other options. The excerpt does not give us enough information to infer that Jay was seen as a hero. At no point does the passage lead us to understand that the British also had access to the ink. Finally, the excerpt does not at all say that Washington helped develop the new invisible ink.
