(1) In "The Gettysburg Address," Abraham Lincoln says, "the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it,

far above our poor power to add or detract." He believes that the world has taken notice of the battle but that the war is far from over. (2) He urges that it is "for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining . . . that this nation . . ." He hopes that others will continue to fight for the freedom of all men. (3) Finally, he is determined to make sure that, "these dead shall not have died in vain." Identify whether each quotation is formatted correctly, and, if not, how it needs to be improved.

Answer:

Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.

Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'

Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.

Explanation:

The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.

In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.

The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The statement that best describes the excerpt is:

3- Most of the sentences have a similar structure.

Explanation:

The first two sentences may seem longer, having more elements. But from the third sentence on, what we have are simple clauses, independent sentences. The structure is so similar that Paine was able to omit the verb "to be" from the fourth sentence on, since it had been mentioned in the previous sentence, and the other are somehow a continuation of that same idea. Therefore, we can safely say that most of the sentences have a similar structure.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

D)explicit

Explanation:

Explicit themes are obvious to the reader, or "openly" expressed.

I'm not sure how a theme can be subdued.

Concrete means things that can be experiences with 5 senses.

Subtle means "not easily understood".

Implicit themes are hidden or need inference.
