The correct answer is C.) Human mortality is inevitable, and it is important to live an authentic life.

Indeed, Ivan thinks he has lived a rightful life, a life where he has behaved honorably and has risen in society to a position of some wealth and influence. However, his wife does not love him and is completely self-centered. His daughter shows the exact same attitude and only his son does show some compassion.

The only person he feels some kind of warmth from is, Gerasim, his peasant servant boy who keeps him company as he is lying on his deathbed. Gerasim also does not share his fear of death due to his Christian faith and his detachment from the materialism of life since he is quite destitute and death would be a liberation.

Ivan discovers through Gerasim’s example that he has lived a materialistic shallow life; a life of conformity to societal norms. He realizes that the only way a life can be authentic is to show compassion and sympathy for other human beings.

The answer would be B based off of how her grammar is in this segment. Because her grammar is conducted poorly, it probably was not her first language.
Hopefully this helps. ;)

Highlight all instances of parallel structure. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserv
Marat540 [252]

"If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve", "if we mean not basely to abandon" AND "which we have been so long contending", "which we have been so long engaged", "which we have pledged".

Parallelism is the repetition of the same grammatical structure. There are two instances of parallel structure in this excerpt. The first is the "If we ___ to ___" structure. The second is the "which we have _______" structure. By filling the passage with this parallel structure is gives the sense of a list of reasons that all, compounding on top of one another, logically lead to the need to fight. The change from the parallel structures in the last line "we must fight!" makes this exclamation stand out and hold power.

Shalnov [3]

In the short stories "A Good Man is hard to Find" and "The Petrified Man", the authors use effective descriptions of the settings, they use all the senses to graphically describe the scenes and situations. The kind of description both  utilize include visual, auditory, smell, touch or tactile and at times taste. The style in their narrative gives the reader a complete experience and understanding of the background and setting.
