[She] had kindled the callow fancy of the most idle and shiftless of all
the village lads, and had conceived for this Howard Carpenter one of
those absurd and extravagant passions which a handsome country boy of
twenty one sometimes inspires in a plain, angular, spectacled woman of
thirty. (Willa Cather, "A Wagner Matinee")

Answer:
D is the answer.
Explanation:
"The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln was all about encouraging the soldiers to preserve the Union in the Civil War and to continue to fight for the ideas they gave their lives for. A, B, and C are unrelated to the purpose of the Gettysburg Address.
I'm not sure where the "bold line" is located since you made the whole text bold, but I can tell by looking at the entire speech and at the answer choices that D is the most accurate of them all.
A is incorrect since Lincoln is conveying that the battle is crucial for soldiers to preserve the Union and maintain the relationship between the North and the South. B is also incorrect since this speech is not about rebelling against the government in any way; it is for the equality of the people since Lincoln wanted to maintain peace among them. So, that's not part of our answer, either. Lastly, C is also incorrect, since the Civil War was not the last resort. He gave this speech during the Civil War, so how is that the last resort? Instead, he acknowledged the people that sacrificed their lives for the Civil War and promoting the soldiers to persist throughout the war.
Therefore, D is the most accurate answer to the summary of Lincoln's speech, the Gettysburg Address.
I hope this helped!

His final sentence is urging the audience to do so. It is their duty to finish the work they have started and accomplish what is best for the whole nation.
