What can be correctly concluded based on this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich? at the law courts too, ivan ilyich noticed, or thought he noticed, a strange attitude towards himself. it sometimes seemed to him that people were watching him inquisitively as a man whose place might soon be vacant. then again, his friends would suddenly begin to chaff him in a friendly way about his low spirits, as if the awful, horrible, and unheard-of thing that was going on within him, incessantly gnawing at him and irresistibly drawing him away, was a very agreeable subject for jests. schwartz in particular irritated him by his jocularity, vivacity, and savoir-faire, which reminded him of what he himself had been ten years ago. 1.ivan misses his former self before the fear of his impending death forced him to mend his ways. 2.ivan looks forward to spending quality time with his friends, but not his family. 3.ivan likes to share his innermost thoughts and feelings with his friends. 4.ivan was pompous and fake until his impending death made him face the reality of his life. 5.ivan found his friends to be caring and supportive during his illness after his bad fall.

I think that what can be concluded based on this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Llynch is that Ivan was pompous and fake until his impending death made him face the reality of his life. The answer would be 4.

Explanation:

I think that the key to the answer is in the last sentence: "Schwartz in particular irritated him by his jocularity, vivacity, and savoir-faire, which reminded him of what he himself had been ten years ago." By saying this, we can understand how the speaker feels about himself before death made him face the reality. Now, he sees himself reflected in his friend's attitudes and he doesn't like what he sees, he feels he was kind of vain and maybe shallow.

the legal limit for the drivers who can drive after consuming any amount of alcohol is 21 years.

explanation:

on november 1, 1996, a "zero tolerance law" was put into effect in the new york state.

according to this zero tolerance law, for people under the age of 21 years, it was illegal to purchase and possess alcohol or to drive after consuming any amount of it.

also, the alcohol involvement rate for the drivers under the age of 21 was roughly twice that of elderly drivers.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
