Select the correct text in the passage.
in which part of this excerpt from the gettysburg address does president abraham lincoln argue that the outcome of the war will depend on the
determination and loyalty of northern citizens?
four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on 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 that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that
nation might live. it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
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 consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here. 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 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.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
