What conclusion can be drawn from the details in this
excerpt?
I decided to put his entire machine shop in our basement,
but there were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in
our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe,
weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine.
weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the
basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to
dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement,
enclose the addition with concrete and add a roof that
could be used for building an outside deck to the house
also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had
the entire machine shop in our basement. At the time I was
making enough money from my electronic devices to pay
for all of this
Kamen's family did not appreciate the enlargement of
their basement
Kamen's mother had complained about the size of her
kitchen and pantry.
Kamen's idea to enlarge the basement benefited both
his work and his family.
Kamen's machine shop still did not fit into the newly
enlarged basement.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
