Mussolini pranced and ... in front of the crowds

Wearing waterproof boots, he ... through the mud, making a squelching sound.

The tired old man ... heavily towards home after a hard day's work.

The old man with old shoes ... along, hardly lifting his feet.

The old man with painful feet ... along using a walking-stick

The young boy, in no hurry, ... on his way to school

strutted
