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.
I believe that the answer would be the first choice (to stress that getting caught driving drunk can cost a person their job) because one does not want to be embarrassed or ridiculed by being seen driving drunk.
No sorry, I've never read the book
The theme is the moral lesson of the story, the topic is what it is about
hope this helps
The answer is definitely: "And so it piled up to the ceilings" since the author is using exaggeration as a literary technique to make the situation seem even worse than it is.
I hope this answer helps you :)!
