The next question refers to Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether. The paragraphs have been numbered to help you ide

ntify them more easily.
1. Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved. 

2.Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

How do paragraph one and paragraph two work together to present the author's ideas?

A. Paragraph one explains the cause of the investigation. Paragraph two shows the results.

B. Paragraph one offers a solution. Paragraph two explains a problem the solution creates.

C. Paragraph one presents facts. Paragraph two presents additional facts on the same topic.

D. Paragraph one and paragraph two have no clear connection.

Answer:

D is the answer.

Explanation:

"The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln was all about encouraging the soldiers to preserve the Union in the Civil War and to continue to fight for the ideas they gave their lives for. A, B, and C are unrelated to the purpose of the Gettysburg Address.

I'm not sure where the "bold line" is located since you made the whole text bold, but I can tell by looking at the entire speech and at the answer choices that D is the most accurate of them all.

A is incorrect since Lincoln is conveying that the battle is crucial for soldiers to preserve the Union and maintain the relationship between the North and the South. B is also incorrect since this speech is not about rebelling against the government in any way; it is for the equality of the people since Lincoln wanted to maintain peace among them. So, that's not part of our answer, either. Lastly, C is also incorrect, since the Civil War was not the last resort. He gave this speech during the Civil War, so how is that the last resort? Instead, he acknowledged the people that sacrificed their lives for the Civil War and promoting the soldiers to persist throughout the war.

Therefore, D is the most accurate answer to the summary of Lincoln's speech, the Gettysburg Address.

I hope this helped!

What is paraphrasing
strojnjashka [21]
Paraphrasing is taking the words of someone else, such as an author, and writing them down in your own words but with the same ideas and information as the original author.
