Answer 1

Explanation:

M. Hamel’s announcement that he was giving his last lesson to his students was a thunderclap for them. Most of them already knew it; Franz was shocked. The entire class was very sad. M. Hamel had taught the people of Alsace fir forty years. He had become an integral part of their life. All the young and the old had come to attend his last class to show their respect to him. There were tears in the elderly people. They tried to learn as much as they could from their beloved teacher. Most of them were feeling quite patriotic and regretful for neglecting learning their mother tongue.
