Select the correct text in the passage.
Gettysburg Address

by Abraham Lincoln (excerpt)

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, 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 this 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 this earth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

any nation so convieved and so dedicated

we cannot dedicate... we cannot consercrate... we cannot hallow this ground

of the people... by the people... for the people

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

any nation so conceived and so dedicated

we cannot dedicate . . . we cannot consecrate . . . we cannot hallow this ground

of the people . . . by the people . . . for the people

Explanation:

In the first example, Lincoln modifies the word nation with the adjectival phrases "so conceived" and "so dedicated." The adjectival phrases have the same form.

In the second example, he repeats the phrase “we cannot” followed by different verbs to give an added element of parallelism.

In the third example, he repeats “the people” to emphasize the government represents everyone after the war.

Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing? (25 points)

1) . . . he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward — and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.

2) Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn’t even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can’t stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage.
3) I said lightly that I had heard nothing at all, and a few minutes later I got up to go home. They came to the door with me and stood side by side in a cheerful square of light. As I started my motor Daisy peremptorily called: “Wait!”
