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.

Don't be intimidated!

Here, I'll go first.

1. <em>I</em><em> went to a comic convention once and I was with my family so I was a little nervous about it since I'm a bit insecure about my interests. Anyways there was a lot of noise and confusion so we just followed the crowd into the building and walked up and down all the little shops and vender carts. it was really noisy so I had trouble talking to my family, so we went upstairs to see the cosplay runway instead. </em>

2<em>.</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em> cluched my bag close to my chest as the crowd inched towards the glass entryway of the building; a building I wasn't sure my family would enjoy yet. We hadn't waited long, but the drive had already work away most of my patience. I tapped my fingers against my arms until my mom, dad, sister and I were each given silver entry cards. As I tugged my hair out from under the card's necklace, the blue tarp was pulled away to reveal the convention. Hundreds of banners hung from the ceiling above large, vibrant signs pinned to the tops of rows and rows of different stands. People rushed around, shopping bags already filled as they shrieked and shouted past each other. I lead my family through the crowds with a wicked grin, abandoning my insecurities as my eyes danced across soft plushes, plastic figures, leather jackets, mystery boxes, and costumes. Cosplays, I corrected my family, as I asked for pictures with them. My sister held her ears, groveling at the building headache we all felt. With ease I navigated the crowd, twisting between the movements with chaotic rhythm, dancing in harmony. </em>

Ok that's 194 words. See, it's just about being more descriptive about the things that matter and skipping over more redundant phrases like "then we went upstairs." Try to really capture the fwel of the moment, using lists and easier sentences to quicken the pace and more punctuation to slow it down. Good luck!

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer and Explanation:

I'll provide an answer against the statement "The fast-food industry can give valuable work experience to teenagers.”

The fast-food industry is not at all concerned with the value the experience of working in it will add to someone's life. As was stated in the text, they hire teenagers "because they are less expensive to hire than adults, but also because their youthful inexperience makes them easier to control." The experience those workers will acquire from that job is limited, probably even useless in other areas. A McDonald's employee does not learn how to cook - they can't leave McDonald's to suddenly work at a regular restaurant. They have machines beeping all around them, letting them know when the food is supposed to be ready.
