B. To describe the setting of a scene. Stage directions often describe the setting, as well as what the characters are doing. They do not ever contain direct dialogue, as that is spoken by the characters themselves. Stage directions only appear in the transcript of plays, is in an actual play the set and nonverbal action is visible.
An argument does not have to controversial: it just refers to someone taking a stand, arguing for or against something. It does not have to be in opposition to other people's ideas either.
So now we have two options left:
writing that takes a specific perspective
and
<span>writing to explain a writers ideas on a topic
I find both of them not perfect: I would rather say that an argument is a claim, or a statement, that needs to be supported. But from the two I think the better one is </span><span>writing to explain a writers ideas on a topic (this is the best answer I think) since a perspective can mean a "point of view" and this not what an argument is.</span>
The correct option is this: THE POSSIBILITY OF ABIDING BY THE LAW WHILE DESTROYING THE NATION THROUGH WAR.
President Abraham Lincoln made this statement during the American civil war. As the president of the United States of America and based on the oath of office he took when he was swore in as the president, he was expected to defend and protect the american constitution. But the president was put in a dilemma during the american civil war, when it became obvious that his defending the constitution will results in destroying america through war.
I believe B would be the correct answer if I am right if not I'd think C.
