Match each stage of Ivan Ilyich’s grief to the corresponding excerpt from Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich. The pain did not grow less, but Ivan Ilyich made efforts
to force himself to think that he was better. And he
could do this so long as nothing agitated him.

Anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably
miserable."It is impossible that all men have been doomed
to suffer this awful horror!"

And whenever the thought occurred to him, as it often
did, that it all resulted from his not having lived as he
ought to have done, he at once recalled the correctness
of his whole life and dismissed so strange an idea.

He suffered ever the same unceasing agonies and in
his loneliness pondered always on the same insoluble
question:"What is this? Can it be that it is Death?"

At that very moment Ivan Ilyich fell through and caught
sight of the light, and it was revealed to him that though
his life had not been what it should have been, this could
still be rectified.

The pain did not grow less, but Ivan Ilyich made efforts
to force himself to think that he was better. And he
could do this so long as nothing agitated him.
