Which two parts of this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich reflect the author's opinion that the members of the rising middle
class can never throw off their emotional masks?
Apart from this lying, or because of it, what most tormented Ivan llyich was that no one pitied him as he wished to be pitied. At certain moments
after prolonged suffering he wished most of all (though he would have been
ashamed to confess it) for someone to pity him as a sick child is
pitied. He longed to be petted and comforted. He knew he was an important functionary, that he had a beard turning grey, and that therefore
what he longed for was impossible, but still he longed for it and in Gerasim's attitude towards him there was something akin to what he wished
for. and so that attitude comforted him. Ivan Ilyich wanted to weep, wanted to be petted and cried over, and then his colleague Shebek would
come, and instead of weeping and being petted, Ivan llyich would assume a serious, severe, and profound air, and by force of habit would
express his opinion on a decision of the Court of Cassation and would
more than anything else to poison his last days.
stubbornly insist on that view. This falsity around him and within him did
It was morning. He knew was morning because Gerasim had gone, and Peter the footman had come and put out the candles, drawn back one
of the curtains, and
begun quietly to tidy up. Whether it was morning or evening, Friday or Sunday, made no difference, it was all just the same:
the gnawing, unmitigated, agonizing pain, never ceasing for an instant, the consciousness of life inexorably waning but not yet extinguished, the
approach of that ever dreaded and hateful Death which was the only reality. and always the same falsity. What were days, weeks, hours, in such
a case?

Need plz read these paragraphs from the excerpt. every great play teaches many lessons and touches nearly all social problems. but the great play does this by indirection. every beautiful thought is a teacher; every noble line speaks to the brain and heart. beauty, proportion, melody suggest moral beauty, proportion in conduct and melody in life. in a great play the relations of the various characters, their objects, the means adopted for their accomplishment, must suggest, and in a certain sense solve or throw light on many social problems, so that the drama teaches lessons, discusses social problems and gives intellectual pleasure. the stage should not be dogmatic; neither should its object be directly to enforce a moral. the great thing for the drama to do, and the great thing it has done, and is doing, is to cultivate the imagination. this is of the utmost importance. the civilization of man depends upon the development, not only of the intellect, but of the imagination. most crimes of violence are committed by people who are destitute of imagination. people without imagination make most of the cruel and infamous creeds. they were the persecutors and destroyers of their fellow-men. by cultivating the imagination, the stage becomes one of the greatest teachers. it produces the climate in which the better feelings grow; it is the home of the ideal. all beautiful things tend to the civilization of man. the great statues plead for proportion in life, the great symphonies suggest the melody of conduct, and the great plays cultivate the heart and brain. which statement describes how ingersoll uses a literary technique in his response? a- by using symbols, ingersoll explains the role of artistic expression, which engages readers. b- by using a metaphor, ingersoll explains how artistic thoughts address social issues, which clarifies his idea. c- by using allusion, ingersoll emphasizes the continued growth of artistic expression, which is relatable to readers. d- by using alliteration, ingersoll emphasizes the role drama plays in society, which evokes strong emotion.
