The guests maintained chatter <em>during</em> the meal. It would be during because it expresses the relation in the sentence.<span />

Answer:

The answer is DURING.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the preposition is the word "during" and it is preceding the noun phrase "the meal". The most common prepositions in English are: under, behind, beside, during, on, next to, over, near, etc.

Some grammarians argue that prepositions are not lexical words since they do not carry meaning, but some others differ in this concept by arguing that it is not the same to say "the cat is on/under/behind/next to/ near the table". Hence, for many modern grammarians prepositions are lexical words because they carry meaning.

Answer:

A. conforming to social conventions

B. criticism of a middle class lifestyle

E. the necessity of companionship

Explanation:

The first alternative is supported by the first part of the passage in which Tolstoy describes all the reasons why Fedorovna seems to be a good match for Ilyich in the eyes of the society and Ivan Ilyitch himself.

The second alternative is an overall conclusion that can be derived from the fact that the passage describes marriage more like a business deal than a derivation of love.

The third alternative is revealed to us by the fact that Ivan Ilyitch knew himself that Fedorovna is not her best match, but decided to still marry her, because he needed to have a partner.
