Question

Ead this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

The tone of this speech is most similar to which of these?
A. A critical review of a work art
B.a philosopher body of writing
C.an inspirational eulogy at a funeral
D.a lecture on the nations historical development

Answer 1

C.an inspirational eulogy at a funeral

Step-by-step explanation:

Abraham Lincoln's speech "The Gettysburg Address," was delivered four months after the battle of Gettysburg, on November 19, 1863. There, President Lincoln joined other speakers and other influential people at a ceremony to dedicate a cemetery at the site of the battle. Thus, the talk is intended to praise fallen soldiers and inspire the nation to go on fighting for the cause.

Answer 2

The best answer to the question that is stated above would be letter C. The tone of the speech of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address is most similar to that of an inspirational eulogy at a funeral. It could have been D but the main idea of his speech was to honor the dead.
