The Gettysburg Address "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in lib

erty 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 battlefield 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. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
Which of the following is the best summary of the line in bold?
a.The battle fought at this particular location was unimportant.
b.Patriotic citizens have the right to rebel against government.
c.War is pointless and should be used only as a last resort.
d. Our purpose is to see this war through and to win it for justice.

Answer:

D is the answer.

Explanation:

"The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln was all about encouraging the soldiers to preserve the Union in the Civil War and to continue to fight for the ideas they gave their lives for. A, B, and C are unrelated to the purpose of the Gettysburg Address.

I'm not sure where the "bold line" is located since you made the whole text bold, but I can tell by looking at the entire speech and at the answer choices that D is the most accurate of them all.

A is incorrect since Lincoln is conveying that the battle is crucial for soldiers to preserve the Union and maintain the relationship between the North and the South. B is also incorrect since this speech is not about rebelling against the government in any way; it is for the equality of the people since Lincoln wanted to maintain peace among them. So, that's not part of our answer, either. Lastly, C is also incorrect, since the Civil War was not the last resort. He gave this speech during the Civil War, so how is that the last resort? Instead, he acknowledged the people that sacrificed their lives for the Civil War and promoting the soldiers to persist throughout the war.

Therefore, D is the most accurate answer to the summary of Lincoln's speech, the Gettysburg Address.

I hope this helped!
