Answer:
Symbolism
Explanation:
In literature, the use of a person, place, or object to represent or signify an abstract idea by making their meanings different from their original literal meaning is symbolism. In symbolism, a person, place, or thing doesn't necessarily have to be attached to a single meaning. Symbols are used in our everyday life, for example, some sports teams name themselves after animals just to make their name fearsome.
A dove is a common symbol used as a concept for peace, it is also used to end conflict. Ordinarily a dove is supposed to be white bird, but the use of symbolism has given a dove another literal meaning, which makes us see a dove as a sign of peace and tranquility.
The president Lincoln and his speech on the occasion of dedication of the national cemetery in Gettysburg, pennsylvania november 19 1863, impacted the united states society to nowadays.
The second paragraph is a cleary statement of recognition to the effort of fallen patriots in war but the president highlighted the future work by the nation and the people.
He positioned a proud nation of his army in war and he gave another position to the people that were not brave men like these soldiers.
In summary the lincoln's purpose in paragraph 3 was the recognition of the soldiers and his poetic speech described that purpose very well.
D. Is for sure the answer because it leaves you hanging without a complete thought.
