The Gettysburg Address "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in lib

erty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." Which of the following is the best summary of the line in bold?
The bolded: It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain

The answer is slightly obvious. Obviously we know it’s not A. The Address does not talk about how citizens have the right to rebel, so it’s not B either. The Address is not taking a tone that reveals that war is pointless, and uses no negative terms to answer that claim. It’s not C either. Your answer is D, because the Address talks about how from those that have died, the remaining have increased devotion to their cause, and to resolve the conflict so that those who have died shall not die in vain.

The answer for this is D. We needed to finish the war and win because if we dont, the soldiers who fought and died, died for nothing.

What conclusion does Ophelia draw from Hamlet’s behavior in act III, scene I, in which he tells her to “Get thee to a nunnery”?
nirvana33 [79]

The correct answer is that he has lost his mind.


Ophelia thinks that Hamlet has finally gone completely mad after saying those words to her. She is confused because one day, he would be totally normal, and the other, he would be saying such phrases to her that hurt her. She wishes he would be normal again and that they could be happy, but unfortunately, that doesn't happen as she kills herself, and he is murdered in the end.
