The result of the study shows that the students did maxim flouting of manner 47 times (73.43%) because the students gave ambiguous sentences, unnecessary repetitions and their speeches were not brief and order. The students did maxim flouting of quantity 11 times (17.18%) because the students gave information without any evidence.
