D. He wants to show respect to the soldiers.

In his speech he talks about dedicating "a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who her gave their lives". The people who gave their lives are the soldiers. He continues by talking about how the soldiers have paid the ultimate sacrifice and their actions have consecrated the ground. This dedication will help the world to remember and honor the soldiers who lost their lives.

The passage does not have any indication of anger. It also doesn't suggest that he wants more people to join the fight or that he will take things further. This is simply about the soldiers who are buried in the battlegrounds.

I cant write the same explantion because I forgot but, i hope you got all the notes that I did for you down..

But I can try to summarize

Verbal Phrase- It has to do with the action. For example: to the shopping mall or to the Candy Store.

Gerund- Always ends in -ing and if the verb is put in past tense then it ends in -ed.

Participle Phrase: A participle is a verbal ending in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s).

If this gets deleted again please take a picture before so you can remember.
