Allusion
Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly
King knew that he and all the members of the nonviolent campaign, would be met with a lot of violence and hate. One of the congressmen, John Lewis said: "They came toward us, beating us with night sticks, trampling us with
horses, releasing the tear gas. I was hit in the head by a
state trooper with a night stick. I had a concussion on the bridge and I
thought I was going to die."
This is just an example of the violence they were subjected to. King's non-violent movement was inspired by the teachings of Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. He believed that that was better than an armed assault. One of his friends stated that if they had armed themselves and responded to violence with more violence, that they could have won, but America would not survive.

Ok where is the answer ???
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.
