30 pts. Text of Gettysburg Address

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 battlefield 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 cannot dedicateтИТwe cannot consecrateтИТwe cannot hallowтИТthis 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 usтИТthat from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotionтИТthat we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vainтИТthat this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedomтИТand that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

What is the "unfinished work" Lincoln mentions in paragraph 3?

A. Reuniting the Union

B. Completing the cemetery

C. Dedicating the cemetery

D. Defeating Lee at Gettysburg
