The correct answer is E) And he had to leave thus all alone in the brink of an abyss, with no one who understood or pitied him.
The sentence in the excerpt that suggests that Ivan Ilyich felt his family and friends didn’t understand him and neglected him is “And he had to leave thus all alone in the brink of an abyss, with no one who understood or pitied him.”
That sentence reflects the idea that Ivan was a lonely man. “In the brink of an abyss” refers to a moment that Ivan was about to fall or make a mistake and he did not have the support or attention of any member of his family or friends. That is why that part of the excerpt suggests that Ivan felt that his family and friends did not understand him.
Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy wrote “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”, that was published in 1886.
