The motif of marigolds is juxtaposed to the grim, dusty, crumbling landscape from the very beginning of the story. They are an isolated symbol of beauty, as opposed to all the mischief and squalor the characters live in. The moment Lizabeth and the other children throw rocks at the marigolds, "beheading" a couple of them, is the beginning of Lizabeth's maturation. The culmination is the moment she hears her father sobbing, goes out into the night and destroys the perfect flowers in a moment of powerless despair. Then she sees the old woman, Miss Lottie, and doesn't perceive her as a witch anymore. Miss Lottie is just an old, broken woman, incredibly sad because the only beauty she had managed to create and nurture is now destroyed. This image of the real Miss Lottie is juxtaposed to the image of her as an old witch that the children were afraid of. Actually, it is the same person; but Lizabeth is not the same little girl anymore. She suddenly grows up, realizing how the woman really feels, and she is finally able to identify and sympathize with her.
There are two people holding on to the edge of a cliff. One is your mother, one is your grandfather. The cliff is weak under the three of you so you only have time to save one person. Who would you save? I would try to figure out who is more at risk, and I would consider the condition of both my mother and my grandfather. In the end I would either try to save both and risk the death of all three of us, or save my mother who is young and healthy.

Answer:
The correct answer is option C. "a code of ethics that respects all children".
Explanation:
A professional in early childhood education (ECE), focuses in different ways that children from birth to up to an age of eight could be educated. One thing that is essential for any professional in ECE is that he or she must follow a code of ethics that respects all children.

Answer:
The type of irony found in this excerpt is: situational irony.
Explanation:
Situational irony is a literary device consisting of leading the reader to believe a certain event / ending will take place and then unexpectedly changing the outcome.
The author describes Chef Kylie's dishes in detail. Readers get to know that his most acclaimed dishes all consist of meat - lots and lots of meat. With such a description, it is ironic for the author to, all of a sudden, reveal that the chef is actually a vegetarian. Most readers probably do not see it coming at all. Who would expect a vegetarian to used so much meat in their own cooking? Why would a vegetarian cook something they do not eat themselves? Readers are thus shocked by this revelation, and that is where the situational irony lies.
