Which two parts of this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggest that doctors, like lawyers, are part of the superficial middle-class world of nineteenth century Russia?He went. Everything took place as he had expectbnd as it always does. There was the usual waiting and the important air assumed by the doctor, with which he was so familiar (resembling that which he himself assumed in court), and the sounding and listening, and the questions which called for answers that were foregone conclusions and were evidently unnecessary, and the look of importance which implied that "if only you put yourself in our hands we will arrange everything—we know indubitably how it has to be done, always in the same way for everybody alike." It was all just as it was in the law courts. The doctor put on just the same air towards him as he himself put on towards an accused person.

The doctor said that so-and-so indicated that there was so- and-so inside the patient, but if the investigation of so-and-so did not confirm this, then he must assume that and that. If he assumed that and that, then...and so on. To Ivan Ilyich only one question was important: was his case serious or not? But the doctor ignored that inappropriate question. From his point of view it was not the one under consideration, the real question was to decide between a floating kidney, chronic catarrh, or appendicitis. It was not a question the doctor solved brilliantly, as it seemed to Ivan Ilyich, in favour of the appendix, with the reservation that should an examination of the urine give fresh indications the matter would be reconsidered. All this was just what Ivan Ilyich had himself brilliantly accomplished a thousand times in dealing with men on trial. The doctor summed up just as brilliantly, looking over his spectacles triumphantly and even gaily at the accused. From the doctor's summing up Ivan Ilyich concluded that things were bad, but that for the doctor, and perhaps for everybody else, it was a matter of indifference, though for him it was bad. And this conclusion struck him painfully, arousing in him a great feeling of pity for himself and of bitterness towards the doctor's indifference to a matter of such importance.

Answer:

The Death of Ivan Ilyich was published by Leo Tolstoy in 1886. Two main parts from the excerpt may be noted:

"There was the usual waiting and the important air assumed by the doctor, with which he was so familiar (resembling that which he himself assumed in court), and the sounding and listening, and the questions which called for answers that were foregone conclusions and were evidently unnecessary, and the look of importance."

This first statement implies that the doctor assumed "the important air" which is similar to the way he assumed as a lawyer, making the connection.

" It was all just as it was in the law courts. The doctor put on just the same air towards him as he himself put on towards an accused person."

Once again he acknowledges that both lawyers and doctors position themselves as more important than the people they are supposed to help, but as in Ivan's court experience he is elevated, in the doctor he is irrelevant, such as the doctor would be in court.

Which equation would best help solve this problem?Five added to 2 times a number is equal to 7 less than 4 times the number.
a. 2x + 5 = 4x – 7
b. 4x +7 = 2x – 5
c. 5x + 2 = 7x – 4
d. 2x – 5 = 4x + 7

Answers

If the word number is replaced by x, and the words 'added', 'times', 'equal' and 'less than' are replaced by symbols, you would be left with: 

5 + 2x = -7 + 4x

If you slightly reorder is, you get:
2x + 5 = 4x - 7

A substitute foot with two accents is _____. an iamb a trochee an anapest a dactyl a spondee

Answers

A substitute foot with two accents is a "spondee" and can be substituted as needed as long as the line maintains its standard form overall.

A substitute foot with two accents is a spondee.

First of all, a substitute foot is a metrical foot, that is to say the basic rhythmic unit that is found in a line of verse in poetry. There are different types of feet, such as the iamb, the trochee, the anapest, the dactyl and the spondee; however, the spondee is the only one that consists of two stressed syllables. In other words, the spondee is the only one that includes two accented syllables: syllables that are pronounced louder, longer, and generally at a higher pitch than the rest of the syllables.
