Fellow countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.

2 On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it—all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.

3 One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it.

4 Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered—that of neither has been answered fully.

I am sure that the right answer is B) compare- contrast

good luck ;)

The sections of Lincoln's speech included in the question reflect a problem-solution structure, discussing the issues around civil war and slavery and calling for unity as a solution.

The structure of the first four sections of Abraham Lincoln's speech, based on the excerpt provided, demonstrates a problem-solution dynamic. Lincoln discusses the issue of the impending civil war and the differing views on slavery as the root of the problem. He goes on to talk about the lack of new information on the progress of the war due to its ongoing nature, then provides a solution by advocating for hope and refraining from making predictions. The initial problem is the division and conflict over slavery, and Lincoln's speech is aimed at addressing this issue by calling for unity and highlighting the nation's shared values, despite the differences.

"My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun (Sonnet 130)"

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Read this passage:
It was his own fault or, rather, his mistake. He should not
have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have
built it in the open. But it had been easier to pull the twigs
from the brush and drop them directly on the fire. Now the
tree under which he had done this carried a weight of snow
on its boughs. No wind had blown for weeks, and each
bough was fully freighted. Each time he had pulled a twig
he had communicated a slight agitation to the tree an
imperceptible agitation, so far as he was concerned, but an
agitation sufficient to bring about the disaster. High up in
the tree one bough capsized its load of snow. This fell on
the boughs beneath, capsizing them. This process
continued, spreading out and involving the whole tree. It
grew like an avalanche, and it descended without warning
upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out!
Where it had burned was a mantle of fresh and disordered
snow.
What can you infer based on this passage from "To Build a Fire"?
A. The man must build a new fire.

Passage 1

The Galapagos Islands are the only places in the world with a combination of large, sea-going lizards, seabirds that can’t fly, and turtles the size of desks. Unsustainable fishing practices and a lack of well-managed protected areas have driven these island ecosystems to the edge of collapse and threaten the Galapagos’ irreplaceable plants and animals. In collaboration with local communities in Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, the Nature Conservancy is implementing new, sustainable fisheries programs and working to protect over 30 million acres of Pacific marine habitat in the region. Their progress is inspiring.

Passage 2

Manhattan Island is a part of New York City. It teems with people, pets, traffic, towering skyscrapers and 24-hour noise. A visitor only has to go a few blocks before recognizing famous landmarks, like the Guggenheim Museum or the stately lions guarding the entrance to the public library. The island, which looks out over the Atlantic Ocean, is home to Broadway and Wall Street. As the center of the financial and entertainment industries, it contains intoxicating promises of fame and fortune and attracts many people year after year, though few really make it to the top. Called the “Big Apple,” New York City is also known as the “Asphalt Jungle” due to its highly competitive nature. Anyone who can survive on this island can make it almost anywhere.
