(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.

Which of the following contributes to the development of literary movements?
aev [14]
The correct answer is C, historical context. There have been many literary movements throughout time, starting from the old era, to the postmodernism that is today. And usually, each literary movement was created as a reaction to the previous movement - romanticism was before realism, modernism was after realism, etc. The historical context demanded changes, and as years passed, people and their needs changed, and thus new literary movements were created. During Queen Victoria, there was Victorian era, where everyone was reserved and cared about their reputation, and that reflected in the literature. When people needed something modern, modernism emerged. When technology thrived, cyber punk literature was created. Every era demands a different approach to literature, and thus new movements are born.
