'ACME Experiments has promised to lead the way into the future. Our energy source is clean, safe, and powerful. You can no longer be uncaring and indifferent. “You would be a terrible person if you continued to sit idly while your planet
is destroyed in cruelty by toxic chemicals that you use for energy. "Do you really want to be one of those lazy and
ignorant people responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer and the extinction of precious animal and plant life?
if you support our plan, you can rest assured that your planet will stay safe and clean. Our plan is to combine
magnesium oxide and dihydro-oxide in laboratory conditions. SIsolating chemicals in the labs limits the potential for
spills. Then, through a genius plan developed by ACME's intelligent engineers, we can capture the released energy.
10 Yes, the same company that has been a leader in service for 250 years has come up with yet another great idea. "By
capturing the released energy, no pollutants are released into the atmosphere. 12It is 99.9 percent certain that this plan
will work to help reduce global warming. 13This new energy could replace electricity, and you have ACME to thank for
this wonderful discovery.

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life? "but if that is so," he said to himself, "and i am leaving this life with the consciousness that i have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then? " he lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. in the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. in them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. this consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. he groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. and he hated them on that account. he was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. he drove everybody away and tossed from side to side. his wife came to him and said: "jean, my dear, do this for me. it can't do any harm and often . healthy people often do it." he opened his eyes wide. "what? take communion? why? it's unnecessary! " she began to cry. "yes, do, my dear. i'll send for our priest. he is such a nice man." "all right. very well," he muttered. when the priest came and heard his confession, ivan ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. he again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. he received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.
