On November 19, 1863, President Lincoln gave his famous speech Gettysburg Address.

He started with "Four score and seven years ago..." (score=20 years) referencing the event happened 87 years ago. Is was a year 1776, the year when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

The Declaration of Independence represents an important part of the American history because it reflects the democratic basis of the country, ideals and goals of the nation. Also, it contains complains of the colonies against the British king. It was signed by the members of the Continental Congress on July 4 of 1776.

anyanavicka [17]

This question is missing the paragraph. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the paragraph.

(1) Wordsworth believed that poetry should include emotional experiences, and his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" includes several of these experiences. (2) Furthermore, the speaker encounters a field of daffodils that he describes as "jocund company." (3) Later, as the speaker reflects on seeing the cheerful daffodils, he says the memory gives him great joy. (4) The speaker realizes that the memory of the flowers provides a more powerful emotional experience than the experience itself did.

Which revision should be made to this paragraph?

-"Finally" should be added to the beginning of sentence 1.

-In sentence 2, "furthermore" should be changed to "specifically."

-In sentence 3, "later" should be changed to "therefore."

-"Moreover" should be added to the beginning of  sentence 4.

Answer:

The revision that should be made is -In sentence 2, "furthermore" should be changed to "specifically."

Explanation:

"Furthermore" is an adverb used to add information related to what was previously stated. However, it is inappropriately used in sentence 2. Sentence 2 is specifying one of the experiences included by the poet in his writing. It would be better, therefore, to use "specifically", since we are not really adding, but explaining in a more specific manner what was said in sentence 1. The change would be:

(1) Wordsworth believed that poetry should include emotional experiences, and his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" includes several of these experiences. (2) Specifically, the speaker encounters a field of daffodils that he describes as "jocund company."
