Answer: E

Explanation: A) "news" is singular so "were" should be singular, i.e. "was"

B) redundant, unnecessary

C) plural/singular subject/verb concordance

D) "in order" is wordy, redundant and unnecessary. "in addition" is used improperly. Although this does have the correct structure of the idiomatic "in addition to", it is used incorrectly. "in addition to" should begin a phrase/complete thought; should start a sentence, right after conjunction or comma.

E) active tense, bypassing plural/singular agreement problem; this is tricky! Correct, concise sentence. If you have issues with modifier "by swift messenger", this is modifying "four days". e.g. the mail took four days by post to arrive. "by post" lets us know what type of mailing method took four days.

The point that can be inferred from the proclamation is: C. Lincoln thought that the addition of former slaves to the  armed forces would result in victory.

The Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln was aimed at releasing slaves in all parts of the United States. A major target was the South who had a larger concentration of slaves.

Lincoln also proposed that the black men joined the Union Army. This will add to their numbers and ensure victory for the United States against the Southern Confederates.
