2.43 Test (CST): The Rhetoric of Speeches Gettysburg Address
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far
so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here 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 that these dead shall not have
died in vain that this nation, under God, 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.
Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech
Yet when years have rolled past and when the blazing light
of truth is focused on this marvellous age in which we live
men and women will know and children will be taught
that we have a finer land, a better people, a more noble
civilization - because these humble children of God were
willing to suffer for righteousness' sake.
Which phrases from the speeches best support the theme of equality for all?
A. Lincoln: died in vain
King: finer land
O B. Lincoln: great task
King: humble children
O C. Lincoln: birth of freedom
King righteousness' sake
D. Lincoln: unfinished work
King: we live
