Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. What does he mean when he says, “we cannot dedicate—we cannot consec

rate—we cannot hallow, this ground”?
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, 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 battle-field 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.

A. He is waiting for a religious leader to consecrate the ground properly.
B. He is convinced that the soldiers died in vain.
C. He thinks that the soldiers themselves consecrated the ground with their sacrifice.
D. He feels that the ground cannot be dedicated until the war is over.

The correct answer is the following: <em>option C. When Lincoln expresses that "we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow, this ground" it means that he thinks that the soldiers themselves consecrated the ground with their sacrifice.</em> He is stating that the men who fought and die in battle are the ones who made a greater act than the living could ever afford to perform, they are the one who had blessed the land in which the lie upon now, with their bravery and sacrifice.

I believe the third stanza is the correct answer:
<span>Seven captains at our seven gates
Thundered; for each a champion waits,
Each left behind his armor bright,
Trophy for Zeus who turns the fight;
Save two alone, that ill-starred pair
One mother to one father bare,
Who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other
Drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother.

These lines tell the story of what happened immediately prior to the play Antigone. It describes the events of when her two brothers fought and kill each other in battle, which is the reason why the play Antigone exists. The first two stanzas describe events from a long time ago, and the fourth one are current events. The third one gives a background to the story, which is why I'd pick that option.

I think that the easiest one for me to do is publishing because it makes me excited to see people read it. The hardest is prewriting. It takes a lot of time when I could just write it edit it and publish then be done. One way I think would make this easier is to just skip prewriting and to just write.
