Question

the years will pass. the accumulated incrustations which hide the truth will pass away. much will be wiped out and forgotten. among other things my fathers will will be forgotten - that will which he himself looked upon as an \unnecessary outward means.\ and men will see more clearly that legacy of love and truth in which he believed deeply, and which, according to his own words, \cannot perish without a trace.\ which of the following could be inferred from this conclusion? tolstoy had a darker side, which only his son knew. tolstoys son hopes that his legacy cannot be destroyed. tolstoys son is not happy about his fathers will. tolstoys son says that the memory of his father will be forgotten.

Explanation:

The text mentions that "men will see more clearly that legacy of love and truth in which he believed deeply, and which, according to his own words, 'cannot perish without a trace.'" This implies that Tolstoy's son hopes his father's legacy (the love and truth part) cannot be destroyed. There is no mention of a 'darker side' known only to the son. The son says the will (an 'unnecessary outward means') will be forgotten, not that he is unhappy about it. And the text says the will (a specific thing) will be forgotten, not the memory of his father.

Answer:

Tolstoy’s son hopes that his legacy cannot be destroyed.
