Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich suggests that ivan ilyich and his wife couldn’t even agree on how to raise their children?

he attained this by spending less and less time with his family, and when obliged to be at home he tried to safeguard his position by the presence of outsiders. the chief thing however was that he had his official duties. the whole interest of his life now centered in the official world and that interest absorbed him. the consciousness of his power, being able to ruin anybody he wished to ruin, the importance, even the external dignity of his entry into court, or meetings with his subordinates, his success with superiors and inferiors, and above all his masterly handling of cases, of which he was conscious—all this gave him pleasure and filled his life, together with chats with his colleagues, dinners, and bridge. so that on the whole ivan ilyich's life continued to flow as he considered it should do—pleasantly and properly.

so things continued for another seven years. his eldest daughter was already sixteen, another child had died, and only one son was left, a schoolboy and a subject of dissension. ivan ilyich wanted to put him in the school of law, but to spite him praskovya fedorovna entered him at the high school. the daughter had been educated at home and had turned out well: the boy did not learn badly either.

Read the excerpt from act 1 of a doll's house. helmer: nora! [goes up to her and takes her playfully by the ear.] the same little featherhead! suppose, now, that i borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the christmas week, and then on new year's eve a slate fell on my head and killed me, and— nora: [putting her hands over his mouth]. oh! don't say such horrid things. helmer: still, suppose that happened, —what then? nora: if that were to happen, i don't suppose i should care whether i owed money or not. helmer: yes, but what about the people who had lent it? nora: they? who would bother about them? i should not know who they were. helmer: that is like a woman! but seriously, nora, you know what i think about that. no debt, no borrowing. there can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt. we two have kept bravely on the straight road so far, and we will go on the same way for the short time longer that there need be any struggle. nora: [moving towards the stove]. as you , torvald. how does the interaction between helmer and nora advance the plot? nora realizes that helmer will completely disapprove of her having borrowed money, so she has to continue to keep it a secret from him. nora realizes that she and helmer have the same ideas about financial issues, and the conversation brings them closer together later in the play. helmer realizes that nora is more responsible with money than he originally thought, and he trusts her more with finances later in the play. nora realizes that helmer knows a lot more about borrowing and lending, and she will seek his input later when she needs it.
