English

Answer: A. His reputation as a deceitful person makes other disbelieve him, even though he is telling the truth.

Explanation: An irony is when an event seems contrary to what we expect. In the story Hauchecorne had a bad reputation as a dishonest person, so when Malandain blamed him for stealing a wallet, no one believed Hauchecorne when he said he didn't do it, even though he was telling the truth. That is a clear example of an irony.

I think the answer is A because the villagers only knew him as a crafty old man even though he was telling the truth. They assumed this because of past experiences.

*One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not full
Hitman42 [59]

President Kennedy's phrase "the bonds of injustice" refers to the social and economic oppression of the slaves' heirs. (option C)

<h3>What are "the bonds of injustice"?</h3>

First, it is important to understand the context given by the passage. President Kennedy is talking about the slaves who were freed by President Lincoln, and then he moves on to their heirs, that is, to all African Americans.

When President Kennedy mentions that those heirs are not freed from "the bonds of injustice," he means that African Americans still face social and economic oppression, that they are still not treated equally.

With the information above in mind, we can select option C as the correct answer.
