Select the correct text in the passage. Which two sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich reflect the author's belief that Russia's rising middle class
was unable to express genuine emotion?
After that Ivan Ilyich would sometimes call Gerasim and get him O hold his legs on his shoulders, and he liked talking to him. Gerasim did
it all easily, willingly, simply, and with a good nature that touched Ivan llyich. Health, strength, and vitality in other people were offensive to
him, but Gerasim's strength and vitality did not mortify but soothed him.
...The awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about to him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost
indecorous incident (as i someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which
he had served all his life long. He saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. Only Gerasim
recognized it and pitied him. And so Ivan Ilyich felt at ease only with him. He felt comforted when Gerasim supported his legs (sometimes
all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "Don't you worry, Ivan llyich. I'll get sleep enough later on,." or when he suddenly became
familiar and exclaimed: "If you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should grudge a little trouble?" Gerasim alone did
not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply
felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master.
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 stubbornly insist on that view.

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
