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.

Hamlet: ... that’s the French bet against the Danish. Why is this ‘imponed,’ as you call it?
Goshia [24]
I believe the correct answer is a duel between Laertes and Hamlet.
Laertes had many reasons to want to kill Hamlet, the most important of which are the facts that Hamlet killed Polonius, Laertes' father, and indirectly led to Ophelia, Laertes' sister, committing suicide. So the excerpt above talks about their future duel in which Hamlet says he would kill Laertes in only three hits.
