What statement of theme best accompanies these lines from the end of the gettysburg address? a) death can give purpose to those still living. b) death is a sad part of life that no one can avoid. c) death is a reward for those who live religious lives. d) death is a never ending carriage ride that is not unpleasant.

The correct answer is A. The statement that best accompanies the end lines of the Gettysburg Address is the one that says that "Death can give purpose to those still living".

Lincoln redefined the Civil War as a new birth of freedom for the United States and its citizens. Therefore, the deaths of those who passed away in battle, would give meaning to the lives of those who remained alive, because those deaths were what initiated a new period of democracy and freedom in the United States.
