Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

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 here 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.

Which phrase from the excerpt is an example of parallelism?

to be dedicated here to the unfinished work

from these honored dead we take increased devotion

this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom

of the people, by the people, for the people

Respuesta :

It is the last option

of the people, by the people, for the people


Answer:

of the people, by the people, for the people

Explanation:

In grammar, when two or more clauses in a sentence have the same grammatical structure, we call it parallelism (also known as parallel construction). In this case, "of the people" has a preposition, an article and a known, just like "by the people" and "for the people".
