in this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich, ivan is weak and on his deathbed. which two sentences show that the young gerasim is a character foil to ivan?

once when he got up from the commode too weak to draw up his trousers, he dropped into a soft armchair and looked with horror at his bare, enfeebled thighs with the muscles so sharply marked on them.

gerasim with a firm light tread, his heavy boots emitting a pleasant smell of tar and fresh winter air, came in wearing a clean hessian apron, the sleeves of his print shirt tucked up over his strong bare young arms; and refraining from looking at his sick master out of consideration for his feelings, and restraining the joy of life that beamed from his face, he went up to the commode.

… ivan ilyich told gerasim to sit down and hold his legs, and began to talk to him. and strange to say it seemed to him that he felt better while gerasim held his legs up.

after that ivan ilyich would sometimes call gerasim and get him to hold his legs on his shoulders, and he liked talking to him. gerasim did it all easily, willingly, simply, and with a good nature that touched ivan ilyich. health, strength, and vitality in other people were offensive to him, but gerasim's strength and vitality did not mortify but soothed him.

what tormented ivan ilyich most was the deception, the lie, which for some reason they all accepted, that he was not dying but was simply ill, and he only need keep quiet and undergo a treatment and then something very good would result. he however knew that do what they would nothing would come of it, only still more agonizing suffering and death.

Returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone? a. our feet were frozen in place as the street itself strained to hold us back. b. i felt unappreciated and condemned for actions i had thought were heroic. c. i hadn't expected to find myself in a rags-to-riches situation such as this. d. we had come home to a feeding frenzy and were being treated as bait.

Read the excerpt from "children of the drug wars.” by sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence,” says josé arnulfo ochoa ochoa, an expert in honduras with world vision international, a christian humanitarian aid group. this abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. it would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since october, many of them legitimate refugees. the underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. how do they support the author’s purpose? they draw attention to the opinion that the united states is not doing enough to these children. they show that there is a desperate need for all countries to be willing to refugees. they show that the united states has participated in international conventions on how to handle the refugee crisis. they make it clear that the united states will lose the respect of other nations if it does not these children.
