Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggests that Ivan Ilyich and his wife couldn’t even

agree on how to raise their children?
He attained this by spending less and less time with his family, and when obliged to be at home he tried to safeguard his position by the presence of outsiders. The chief thing however was that he had his official duties. The whole interest of his life now centered in the official world and that interest absorbed him. The consciousness of his power, being able to ruin anybody he wished to ruin, the importance, even the external dignity of his entry into court, or meetings with his subordinates, his success with superiors and inferiors, and above all his masterly handling of cases, of which he was conscious—all this gave him pleasure and filled his life, together with chats with his colleagues, dinners, and bridge. So that on the whole Ivan Ilyich's life continued to flow as he considered it should do—pleasantly and properly.

So things continued for another seven years. His eldest daughter was already sixteen, another child had died, and only one son was left, a schoolboy and a subject of dissension. Ivan Ilyich wanted to put him in the School of Law, but to spite him Praskovya Fedorovna entered him at the High School. The daughter had been educated at home and had turned out well: the boy did not learn badly either.

Answer: Ivan Ilych wanted to put him in the School of Law, but to spite him Praskovya Fedorovna entered him at the High School.

Explanation: In this excerpt from Leon Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilych", the sentence that suggests that Ivan Ilych and his wife couldn't even agree on how to raise their children is the one mentioned in the answer. When Ivan Ilych and his wife start having problems, he spends most of his time at work. But they cannot even agree on how to raise their children. To spite him, his wife enters their son at the High School, because she knew he wanted the child to attend the School of Law. Their son is a subject of dissension.

arlik [135]

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.

fgiga [73]

<h2><u>PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST!</u></h2>

Answer:

See below:

Explanation:

A - Lawrence Kohlberg interviewed a group of young men about moral decision making.

D - Preconventional reasoning is based on following one’s moral principles, but Postconventional reasoning is based on doing what is best for oneself.

D - “Once a person begins to think in a Stage 5 way about what benefits the community as a whole, they will almost never go back to a Stage 2 level of looking out for themselves first.” ( Paragraph 16)

B - Kohlberg could understand how people decided what was the right thing to do.

Write a summary of the article “How do we tell right from wrong?”  

--> Sorry friend, you're going to have to write the summary yourself.

I hope this helps! I was not fully sure if the answer was C or D for the third question, but I put D because preconventional reasoning is external (if that makes sense). Have a good night!
