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, 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.

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? question 5 options: dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
