Answer 2

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The quotation in option C uses correctly an ellipsis to shorten Lincoln's words because it starts with the introduction "Four score and seven years", and completes the thought  by ending in "a new nation", uses the ellipsis replacing words that don't alter the meaning, and finishes with a complement describing the new nation's destiny.
