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

First, you should read Nixon's and Ford's speeches. In this reading, you should identify the objective of the speeches, that is, what Nixon and Ford want to achieve with the themes and topics presented in their speech.

  • Show the objective of Ford's speech and how that objective is developed during the speech.
