Which sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich show that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of

his earlier life? "Yes, you sick people are always like that.... There, now I think I am warm enough. Even Praskovya Fedorovna, who is so particular, could find no fault with my temperature. Well, now I can say good-morning," and the doctor presses his patient's hand. Then dropping his former playfulness, he begins with a most serious face to examine the patient, feeling his pulse and taking his temperature, and then begins the sounding and auscultation. 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. The doctor, kneeling on the sofa, is still sounding him when Praskovya Fedorovna's silk dress rustles at the door and she is heard scolding Peter for not having let her know of the doctor's arrival. She comes in, kisses her husband, and at once proceeds to prove that she has been up a long time already, and only owing to a misunderstanding failed to be there when the doctor arrived. Ivan Ilyich looks at her, scans her all over, sets against her the whiteness and plumpness and cleanness of her hands and neck, the gloss of her hair, and the sparkle of her vivacious eyes. He hates her with his whole soul. And the thrill of hatred he feels for her makes him suffer from her touch.

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.

Read Isaiah 53:11. Select the best description.
natka813 [3]

The answer is C

The whole verse looks like this:

<em>(Isaiah 53:11 According to New International Version (NIV)) </em>

<em>11 After he has suffered, </em>

<em>he will see the light of life[a] and be satisfied[b]; </em>

<em>by his knowledge[c] my righteous servant will justify many, </em>

<em>and he will bear their iniquities. </em>

For the first line: This phrase describes all his pain and sufferings he has experienced during his passion on the cross. Christ has died for us. Even he is the Son of God, he did not escaped death, which will also happen to all of us. Death is a punishment for us because we sinned as a person. Christ has become a person that's why he also experienced it. In spite of death and all his wounds and pain he has experienced, he realized the positivities from all of those.  

For the second line: Meaning he will see the good side of those sufferings. It means, after death, we will live again but this time, our spirits will have everlasting life, no more sufferings, no more deaths, no more sickness which can provide every body spiritual satisfaction.  Christ has lived on the 3rd day of his death.

For the third line: Christ is often recognized as the Son of God, therefore, he is always the righteous one. He is holy and almost equal as God the Father. Because the Father has sent him to us, to become an example and to inspire us to follow his commandments and live to his words and teachings, if we accept these all, then we are justified and saved.  We will never get lost.

As for the last line: Since Jesus justified and corrected us by bearing our sins and dying for us, if we are willing to accept the same outlook, commandments and beliefs like him, then he will happily bear and carry all our misdeeds. But that doesn't mean that we will not die later on. We will still experience death, but this time, we will be saved.

The author describes the lunette as "wall-eyed." Wall-eyed is having large bulging or staring eyes, or an eye in which the iris
Ket [755]

Answer and Explanation:

The author used the expression "wall-eyed" to describe a lunette, an arching aperture in a wall that may function as a window. Wall-eyed means something or someone has bulging eyes, or eyes that show a great amount of white for some reason. With that in mind, we can think of a couple of things that may be described as wall-eyed. A fish, for instance, can be wall-eyed due to its bulging eyes that seem to be constantly staring. A mirror reflecting a white wall, a round window reflecting moonlight, all can be described as wall-eyed. The same goes for a person who is surprised or scared, since they will open their eyes wide.
