Question

"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." -Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address, 1863

The quote above includes an example of:
A. metaphor
B. alliteration
C. simile
D. personfication

Answer 1

In my view this quote by Abraham Lincoln is a perfect example of D. personfication. He said "Nation dedicated" but it can't be like that. So I've chosen d. option.
