Answer:

d) to give a sense of importance to the occasion

Explanation:

Formal diction is rarely used to connect. Most of the times, formal diction is used to pass an idea of respect or professionalism. It can be less emotional, but it doesn't mean that it is. And it might not be the best way to express anger as well. The use of formal language, though, creates a serious tone to whatever you might be saying. Given the occasion, it is most likely the reason behind Lincoln's use of formal language.

Feliz [49]

1) the correct answer is B True love is inexplicable and boundless.

2) the correct answer is C “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where” (Line 9).

3) the correct answer is  A urgent and passionate.

4) At the beginning of the poem, he says why he does not love her. He doesn't love her as if she was a salt-rose, topaz, or carnation, but he loves her as if she was a plant that does not bloom. This means that he does not love her superficially, but he loves her deeply for who she is on the inside.

Flowers are beautiful things that everyone admires, but no one would admire a flower that doesn’t bloom because they could not see the beauty that it contains.

Which of these would please a Romantic poet most?
zheka24 [161]
Well, there are two answers to this question actually.
I believe that a medieval ballad would definitely please a Romantic poet, because it is all about love and all that.
However, in Romanticism, poets and writers were obsessed with the macabre, so they would probably enjoy Greek tragedies as well.
