Answer:

The best paraphrase of this quotation from Abraham Lincoln's <em>Gettysburg Address</em> is <em>A: We cannot do as much as the soldiers have done.</em>

Explanation:

What Abraham Lincoln is trying to say in this excerpt is that they, ordinary men, don't have the right to consecrate that ground because that job has already been done by the men who struggled there, who fight in that field, and he doesn't feel they have the right to do it over them. They were -some still are- courageous men that fought for all and they are nothing compared to them. This is how he feels about it and the reason why he thinks they have nothing to change because the memory of these men is stronger.

Answer:

Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.

Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'

Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.

Explanation:

The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.

In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.

The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.
