Answer 1

The correct answer is D) Association.

When Lincoln said the quote “A house divided against itself cannot stand” in 1858, when was referring to a passage of the New Testament when Jesus of Nazareth was teaching his apostles that if people have internal issues between good and evil it would be so difficult to grow.

Abraham Lincoln wanted to do an association of ideas when he said the same in his speech, meaning that a nation divided into North and South would impede the growth of the United States and the prosperity of the nation.
