Moira disconnected her headset and, sitting back in her
antigravity chair, thought about the next move she was
about to take. Deciding where to send the last of the air trees
was a decision she was not ready to make.
The city of Narvoro, located in the depths of the Pacific
Ocean 1.000 miles from the island of Oahu, was the first city
to make a request for the highly coveted air trees--the most
efficient underwater oxygen producers ever designed. But it
was the less wealthy city of Komorisa in the Atlantic, off the
coast of
of Maine, that needed the air trees most
Opting to simply dispense the trees to Narvoro would be
an easy thing to do. Their early application alone was enough

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life?

"what? take communion? why? it's unnecessary! " she began to cry. "yes, do, my dear. i'll send for our priest. he is such a nice man." "all right. very well," he muttered. when the priest came and heard his confession, ivan ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. he again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. he received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.
