Question

The Gettysburg Address declared the first __________.

Answer 1

Well, the subject is obviously the Gettysburg Address so first look up what it was and if you want, (which I recommend), you should read it. Next word is declared. What did it declare? It did a lot of things, so lets check the next word to see. Yes, the word is 'first', but first what? See how declared was alone and did not clearly state what it was looking for. The Gettysburg address declared and lots of things, but what did it declare first. What was the thing it did that had not been done before. Ok with this in mind, go ahead and red this article that should help you pin point your answer.
