What is the major irony in the poem “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall? The mother is afraid her daughter will get hurt marching in a protest, but her daughter gets hurt going to church instead. The mother realizes that going to church may be as dangerous as going to a protest, so she doesn’t let her daughter leave. The mother is upset that her daughter deliberately defies her wishes to participate in the Freedom March. The daughter could have missed church because the alarm clock wasn’t working that morning.

Lots of elementary school kids play sports after school. they play soccer, tennis, football, baseball, and even lacrosse. but i think that another great way to spend the afternoon is by playing a non-physical activity: chess. at our school we have a chess club that meets every week to play games and to learn about chess-related issues. chess is a wonderful game for many reasons. chess teaches students to be patient and not rush decisions. chess also teaches students how to strategize their future plans. and finally, chess teaches students the importance and necessity of sacrifice. chess can teach students just as much as any other sport. which sentence could best be added to this paragraph as a supporting detail? a) chess is not as fun as playing a sport outdoors might be. b) my father is very good at chess and plays a game with me every night. c) chess teaches students to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. d) other activities that are as fun as chess are painting, drawing, dancing, and acting.
