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.

The arctic national wildlife refuge is home to caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies, polar bears and migratory birds. leaders in the oil industry believe the refuge is the perfect site for the “environmentally sensitive exploration” of oil. environmentalists are wondering: what will become of the wildlife? president george w. bush, oil-industry leaders and others believe that americans will benefit from the oil that lies under the snow-filled surface of the refuge. in their opinion, the oil will reduce high fuel prices and decrease our need for oil from other countries. i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? americans are the largest consumers of oil. instead of drilling for oil, we should decrease our need for foreign oil simply by using less. we must all work together to cut back on the oil we use in order to preserve the wildlife of the arctic national wildlife refuge. what type of argument is used in this paragraph? i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to logic b. bandwagon d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d
