"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." -Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address, 1863 The quote above includes an example of: A. simile B. metaphor C. personfication D. alliteration
@candacemae I think it's "B" since the phrase, "conceived in Liberty" somehow suggests that the people who first discovered the New Nation were born free. If it helps, metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. I hope this helps. :)
@SweetsAndEverything i put B and that was wrong also D is wrong too.
@candacemae Well, I'm not sure on the answers. Sorry. :(
