Explanation:

In a speech given at the graduation ceremony, the speech can contain various points ranging from thanking the faculty to wishing well for everyone. Graduation is a passing out of the students, and the best way to give a speech is to show appreciation for those who were always at hand to help us, reminiscing about the times passed and also wishing everyone for their future endeavors. But what cannot be part of the speech is not to make it a personal one, meaning, there should be no inclusion of any personal problems or events. As a representative of the graduating class to give the commencement speech, it is our one's duty to stick and talk for the whole class, represent them, be their collective voice.

Thus, option C should not be included in the speech.

the correct answer will be d or c for me it may be different

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
