Question

i have 10 min help!!! Which choice shows an opinion that is well supported with evidence? Carletta Wilson brilliantly portrays Abraham Lincoln as a man who is gifted with words, stating that he “inspired unity with his Second Inaugural Address” and that he “exhibited perfection in speech with the Gettysburg Address.” Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which states that “all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State . . . shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.”By giving amazing descriptions of Lincoln as a brave reformer and a strong leader, Carletta Wilson creates a character whom the reader can really admire. I did not like the book by Carletta Wilson about Abraham Lincoln, because it is too long and the language she uses is too difficult for the average reader to understand.

Answer 2

Carletta Wilson brilliantly portrays Abraham Lincoln as a man who is gifted with words, stating that he “inspired unity with his Second Inaugural Address” and that he “exhibited perfection in speech with the Gettysburg Address.”

The first option gives the opinion that Lincoln "is gifted with words." She then supports this idea using direct quotes about the impact his words have had on his audience. The second option about the Emancipation Proclamation is a fact, not an opinion. The third option does give an opinion, but does not use any evidence to support the opinion. The last choice is just terrible writing.
