Read the passage.
despite the benefits of e-readers, many people still prefer to read printed books. they like the tactile feel of real books. the text is easier to read because there’s no glare. they like turning the pages and watching as the left side of the book grows thicker as they read through the story. some people even love the smell of books, both new and old. real books can be sold or passed on to future generations. they can be autographed by the author. none of these benefits is possible with digital books. many bibliophiles enjoy showing off the titles and number of books stacked in bookcases in their homes. personal libraries share information about their owner’s interests and what is important to them. printed books can be read anywhere, even by candlelight during a power outage. a book can even show signs of its sentimental value to its owner. perhaps it is dog-eared from use, inscribed, or favorite passages are marked off and noted.
what is the author's purpose for writing this passage?
to inform readers that e-readers have many benefits
to entertain readers with a story about what books used to be like
to persuade people to read printed books
to explain the many reasons why people prefer printed books

Which two passages in this excerpt from the death of ivan illych does leo tolstoy use to suggest that ivan ilych feels like his life is slipping away from him? "what's the use? it makes no difference," he said to himself, staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness. "death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
