Answer:

True

Explanation:

Prose and poetry are different literary genres. It is true that poetry can have a definite meter. For example sonnets have fourteen decasyllabic lines and they are written in iambic pentameter where a rigorous rhyme convention has to be followed. However, there is free verse and other types of poems which do not follow a specific scheme. On the contrary, prose does not use a specific meter, it is a natural flow of speech in written form. Accordingly, the characteristic that distinguishes prose and poetry is the metrical structure.

(2) He urges that it is important "for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining . . ." He hopes that others will continue to fight for the freedom of all men.

(3) Finally, he is determined to make sure that, "these dead shall not have died in vain."

Explanation:

The second quotation is formatted wrongly and has been revised properly.

First of all, the sentence is grammatically incorrect and the word important was added before the quotation mark to make the quote have a better meaning.

Next, the quote was modified by omitting some unnecessary words which had no impact on the overall meaning of the sentence.

. that this nation . . . was omitted.
