Which of these statements is an example of figurative language in Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address?
A. "All dreaded it, all sought to avert it.”
B. "... [Llet us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the
nation's wounds..."
C. "Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than
let the nation survive ..."
D. "One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed
generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it."

". . . [L]et us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds . . ."

to and without are prepositions, so a, b, and d are prepositional phrases. the adverb phrase is c, about the surprise.

explanation:

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
