I drew a breath, set my teeth, gripped the starting lever with

both hands, and went off with a thud. The laboratory got

hazy and went dark. Mrs. Watchett came in and walked,

apparently without seeing me, towards the garden door. I

suppose it took her a minute or so to traverse the place, but

to me she seemed to shoot across the room like a rocket. I

pressed the lever over to its extreme position. The night

came like the turning out of a lamp, and in another moment

came tomorrow. The laboratory grew faint and hazy, then

fainter and ever fainter. Tomorrow night came black, then

day again, night again, day again, faster and faster still. An

eddying murmur filled my ears, and a strange, dumb

confusedness descended on my mind. “I am afraid I cannot

convey the peculiar sensations of time travelling. They are

excessively unpleasant. There is a feeling exactly like that

one has upon a switchback—of a helpless headlong

motion! I felt the same horrible anticipation, too, of an

imminent smash. As I put on pace, night followed day like

the flapping of a black wing. The dim suggestion of the

laboratory seemed presently to fall away from me, and I

saw the sun hopping swiftly across the sky, leaping it every

minute, and every minute marking a day.

Select the correct answer. read this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich: her attitude towards him and his diseases is still the same. just as the doctor had adopted a certain relation to his patient which he could not abandon, so had she formed one towards him—that he was not doing something he ought to do and was himself to blame, and that she reproached him lovingly for this—and she could not now change that attitude. "you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him—with his legs up." she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up. the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said: "what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancies of that kind, but we must forgive them. . " they all rose, said good-night, and went away. when they had gone it seemed to ivan ilyich that he felt better; the falsity had gone with them. but the pain remained—that same pain and that same fear that made everything monotonously alike, nothing harder and nothing easier. everything was worse. again minute followed minute and hour followed hour. everything remained the same and there was no cessation. and the inevitable end of it all became more and more terrible. based on the excerpt, how is praskovya fedorovna a character foil to ivan ilyich? a. she is kind and takes care of ivan, which is why he feels guilty about how he treated her for most of their married life. b. she is vindictive toward ivan while pretending to be worried about him, thus reminding him of how his family has never forgiven him. c. she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful—everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to. reset next
