So that the colonist can make a government that has freedom from the British.
The correct answer is B) to explain that his attention and energy is still focused on the war.
<em>The purpose of this passage of President's Lincoln Second Inaugural Address was to explain that his attention and energy is still focused on the war.</em>
The Second Inaugural Address of President Abraham Lincoln was held on March 4, 1865. He shared his project to heal the nation's wound and unite the United States that were divided by the Civil War. Lincoln did not send a message of happiness because the time was sad for the US. But he had hope for the things to come. Unfortunately, he was assassinated 40 years after his second inauguration address.
The other options of the question were a) to explain that people are already acquainted with him, b) to explain his reasons to make a shorter inaugural speech, and d) to explain that he still has hope in the future.
Answer:
1. Council members <u>deplored</u> the outbreak of violence in areas close to schools.
2. Several of the old buildings still retained the <u>ornate</u> ceilings and banisters that were typical of the eighteenth century.
3. During economic hardships, most people find <em><u>prodigal</u></em> spenders offensive.
Explanation:
The corresponding and appropriate vocabulary for the bolded words in the given sentences are changed as follows-
1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.
2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".
3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.
B. I knew the rain falling lightly from the clouds would stop.
