Select the correct text in the passage. Which lines from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address support the claim that the president's speech helped clarify the purpose of the
war?
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 battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that
the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow, this ground-The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here; while it can never forget what they did here. It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us
--that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion
-that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that
government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
