Answer: D. The Battle of Gettysburg was a three-day conflict in which Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia faced off against George Meade's Army of the Potomac. Instead of fighting defensively, which had won Lee many victories, the Confederates made a disastrous charge against the Union center.
Explanation:
The best option is D as it corrects errors in spelling and grammar.
It corrected the ''one Lee...'' to ''won Lee...''.
It corrected the use of a lower case for Meade to an uppercase which is correct as Meade is the name of a person and so as a proper noun should always have its first letter capitalized.
It corrected the use of an upper case for ''Disastrous charge...'' to the lower case ''disastrous charge...'' which is correct because disastrous is not a noun in this instance.
The statement that best describes the excerpt is "This is the minor premise of the Declaration of Independence," as stated in option A and explained below.
<h3>What is a minor premise?</h3>
A premise is an affirmation or statement that functions as the basis for a conclusion. We can have a major premise and a minor premise. Take a look at the examples below:
- Some animals are mammals. --> Major premise.
- All cats are mammals. --> Minor premise.
- Some animals are cats. --> Conclusion.
As we can see above, the minor premise is related to the major premise. With that in mind, we can see that the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is a minor premise. It is related to the major premise that the 13 colonies should break free from England.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.
