Read the passage. central city zoo is small and outdated. the animals live in cramped, barred cages built in 1946. this passage represents what type of support? a. it is evidence because it is a fact that can be confirmed or proven. b. it is evidence because the author is an expert. c. it is an inference based on how the public views the size of the zoo cages. d. it is an inference based on what the animals would report if they could speak

A. 
While the opinion of the author is used here (which is not necessarily fact), the fact that the author gives the year that the cages were built, and gives a description of them implies that these are both facts that provide evidence supporting the description of the Central City Zoo as being "small and outdated". 

answer: military leaders, supporters of the confederacy and supporters of the union.

explanation:

on november 19, 1863, the speech delivered by president abraham lincoln, known as 'gettysburg address', was intended for politicians, military officials, notable citizens as well as general public, and members of the press who had gathered for the ceremony held in gettysburg, pennsylvania. this ceremony was being celebrated since, in that same year, the battle of gettysburg took place in rural pennsylvania, leaving thousands of men, both union and confederate, killed. lincoln argued about equality within the nation, and the purpose of the war being a "new birth of freedom."on the other hand, there is no relation between lincoln's gettysburg address and his son.
