Which lines in this excerpt from Guy de Maupassant's short story "Boule de Suif" suggest that the resistance activities of the c

ivilians were more courageous than those of the armed soldiers? Even the town itself resumed by degrees its ordinary aspect. The French seldom walked abroad, but the streets swarmed with Prussian soldiers. Moreover, the officers of the Blue Hussars, who arrogantly dragged their instruments of death along the pavements, seemed to hold the simple townsmen in but little more contempt than did the French cavalry officers who had drunk at the same cafes the year before. . . . The conquerors exacted money, much money. The inhabitants paid what was asked; they were rich. But, the wealthier a Norman tradesman becomes, the more he suffers at having to part with anything that belongs to him, at having to see any portion of his substance pass into the hands of another. Nevertheless, within six or seven miles of the town, along the course of the river as it flows onward to Croisset, Dieppedalle and Biessart, boat-men and fishermen often hauled to the surface of the water the body of a German, bloated in his uniform, killed by a blow from knife or club, his head crushed by a stone, or perchance pushed from some bridge into the stream below. The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance. For hatred of the foreigner ever arms a few intrepid souls, ready to die for an idea. NextReset

Lincoln's message in this speech is that
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

A) although a terrible tragedy has occurred, those who remain alive should carry on the cause for which the soldiers died.

Explanation:

Lincoln's message in the Gettysburg Address is that <em>although a terrible tragedy has occurred, those who remain alive should carry on the cause for which the soldiers died</em>. President Lincoln offered his Gettysburg Address to state that the soldiers that are buried in that cemetery made the place sacred because they gave their lives in the war. Although it is true that the United States was 87 years old it is not the most important message of the speech. There was a great civil war being fought in this country is not was the message that he is trying to convey. He is consecrating the cemetery to those soldiers who gave their lives in battle.
