Antecedent is an expression that gives meaning to the word coming after that. For example, I was late to the meeting because police held me for speeding. In this sentence, pronoun me is an explained word which explain another pronoun - I. Antecedent has been used correctly in this sentence. In this question, the first option is correct. Antecedent has been used incorrectly in the second sentence because it's unclear who is considered with the pronoun he. The third option is also an incorrect antecedent because the explaining word has not been given.

After reading "Four Freedoms," read this excerpt from Lincoln’s "Gettysburg Address.”

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The importance of equality.

The importance of freedom.

Explanation:

"Four Freedoms" by President Roosevelt listed the four important freedoms that every man must be given- freedom of speech, worship, and freedom from want and fear. These, to the President, are necessary for any nation to flourish and for the people to live their lives.

Likewise, President Lincoln's speech at "Gettysburg" also expounded on the same values of freedom. His statement<em> "all men are equal" </em>and that the dedication of that space (Gettysburg) is important for the men who gave their lives for the security of others shows his belief and emphasis on the importance of freedom and equality.

Thus, the correct answers are freedom and equality.
