Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothe

st and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix – the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy" – eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Whose behavior is ironic in this excerpt?

1. the villagers, for their pronunciation of Delacroix
2. the girls, for talking among themselves
3. the boys, for making and guarding the pile of stones
4. the very small children, for rolling in the dust
5. Mark this and return Save and Exit Next

Lines 39-42 what is the premise in the paragraph that begins on line 39?
erica [24]

This question is about Ronald Reagan's speech, entitled "A Time for Choosing".

Answer:

As you did not provide the lines to which this question refers, my answer may be a little inaccurate, because the numbering of lines I have from this course may be different from the numbering of lines to which your question refers.

However, the premise in the paragraph that begins on line 39 according to my text is that the loss of freedom is not beneficial to anyone and that it causes pain and suffering to anyone.

Explanation:

On line 39 Reagan talks about the experience that a friend of his, a Cuban refugee, had to face because of the country's lack of freedom. he had to flee from Cuba, even though he was a successful businessman. Some people reported that he was lucky to be able to leave the country and he even agrees, because he had this option, although many of his fellow citizens do not.

Reagan uses this story to show how the lack of freedom is harmful to anyone, regardless of their social position or their ability to escape. The lack of freedom is harmful for that reason, it cannot be allowed in America.

Which of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?
nignag [31]

1. The correct answer is A. Melissa said that she would never go on a cruise.


B is incorrect because the question mark has to be inside the quotation marks, not outside of it. C is incorrect because there has to be a comma after the word <em>replied, </em>and there is none. This leaves us with sentence A, which is the correct answer here - it is the correct reported speech.


2. The correct answer is B. Li promised to cut back but asked, “Can I have one soft drink at dinner?”


A is incorrect because you don't need quotation marks for this, or you would have to delete the word <em>to </em>and add a comma, leaving quotation marks in order for this sentence to be correct. C is incorrect because the word <em>sure </em>also has to be inside quotation marks. Therefore, the correct option is B.

What is one theme of Nadias stage fright, having a supportive mother can help a person get through hard times, playing the piano
matrenka [14]

Answer:

pleasant memories can calm a person during stressful times

Explanation:

Nadia's stage fright is written by Clark Benson. Nadia is practising one song over and over to perform and give her best in the Talent Show. Her partner during practising time is her pet Lucky who sits beside Nadia on the floor.

<u>When Nadia was frightful in the 7th stanza, she calmed herself by remembering pleasant memories with Lucky. This shows that frightful or stressful emotions can be overcome by recalling pleasant memories</u>.

And this also suggests the theme of the story that pleasant memories have the power to calm a person when he/she is stressful.

So, the correct answer is the last option.
