In describing Lincoln, Obama reinforces the feeling of reunification, unity and depolarization of American society.
Explanation:
Lincoln was a president who acted at a time of extensive national polarization. Obama also took over as president at a time of polarization and political and racial disagreements. In this case, when Obama quotes and describes Lincoln, he reinforces his commitment to uniting the country again, using the Lincoln government and his political strategy as a mirror for the political strategy that he himself wants to implement.
Some of the ways to identify the meaning of a word based on the available context are:
- Read and understand the text/sentence
- Write out on a pad the original meaning of the word
- Read the particular sentence aloud where the word whose meaning you want to find
- For example, if your sentence that contains the word "mast" goes like this: "At his burial, the flag was flown at half-mast", you can directly infer that this is a sign of respect.
- With this in mind, you can see that the meaning of the word "mast" based on the context used means that a dead person is being honored and this is an upright post that a flag is attached to.
- Therefore, the meaning would be "an upright pole"
