The following passage is from page 200 of the book Tourist Sites in the United States by Shelby Irizary:

Surprisingly, there is a castle on the Hudson River in the state of New York. Many train commuters pass right by Bannerman’s Castle. Although the castle is seen from the window of a modern train, it is over a century old. Francis Bannerman VI purchased an island on the Hudson River in 1900. On it, he built a castle designed to look like a Scottish castle. Bannerman used the finished structure as a warehouse in which to store historic military items. He and his family lived in a separate smaller castle-themed home on the island. After Francis Bannerman VI died in 1918, the family kept the castle for decades and visited it regularly. In 1967, the island and the buildings on it were sold to the state of New York. In 1969, the castle was damaged by a fire. However, its outer walls remained standing, and the castle became an official tourist attraction. Since 1993, the castle has been run by a trust fund. The head of the trust fund, Neil Caplan, is diligently seeking grants and donations to preserve what is left of the castle. Every year, more of the castle crumbles to the ground. Because of pieces falling off the castle, tourists must wear hardhats and cannot get too close. Caplan hopes that the money will appear before it’s too late to save Bannerman’s Castle. Tourists may want to make the trip to see the castle sooner rather than later.

Select the correct answer. read this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich: her attitude towards him and his diseases is still the same. just as the doctor had adopted a certain relation to his patient which he could not abandon, so had she formed one towards him—that he was not doing something he ought to do and was himself to blame, and that she reproached him lovingly for this—and she could not now change that attitude. "you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him—with his legs up." she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up. the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said: "what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancies of that kind, but we must forgive them. . " they all rose, said good-night, and went away. when they had gone it seemed to ivan ilyich that he felt better; the falsity had gone with them. but the pain remained—that same pain and that same fear that made everything monotonously alike, nothing harder and nothing easier. everything was worse. again minute followed minute and hour followed hour. everything remained the same and there was no cessation. and the inevitable end of it all became more and more terrible. based on the excerpt, how is praskovya fedorovna a character foil to ivan ilyich? a. she is kind and takes care of ivan, which is why he feels guilty about how he treated her for most of their married life. b. she is vindictive toward ivan while pretending to be worried about him, thus reminding him of how his family has never forgiven him. c. she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful—everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to. reset next
