Which sentences in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich show ivan ilyich’s struggle with his life and his inability to let go of his past? ¨for three whole days, during which time did not exist for him, he struggled in that black sack into which he was being thrust by an invisible, resistless force.¨ he struggled as a man condemned to death struggles in the hands of the executioner, knowing that he cannot save himself. and every moment he felt that despite all his efforts he was drawing nearer and nearer to what terrified him. ¨he felt that his agony was due to his being thrust into that black hole and still more to his not being able to get right into it.¨ he was hindered from getting into it by his conviction that his life had been a good one. ¨that very justification of his life held him fast and prevented his moving forward, and it caused him most torment of all.¨ ¨suddenly some force struck him in the chest and side, making it still harder to breathe, and he fell through the hole and there at the bottom was a light.¨ what had happened to him was like the sensation one sometimes experiences in a railway carriage when one thinks one is going backwards while one is really going forwards and suddenly becomes aware of the real direction. ¨"yes, it was not the right thing," he said to himself, "but that's no matter. it can be done.¨ but what is the right thing? he asked himself, and suddenly grew quiet.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
