Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- For option A: The article says they debated about enslavement (America’s most serious problem), so this is answered.
- For option B: The article states "Douglas said that Lincoln was once a skilled wrestler. Some claim that Lincoln won more than 300 wrestling matches. And he lost only one. But those numbers might not be true." and also mentions Lincoln ran for Senate against Douglas, implying he didn't win the seat (since he later became president and the text about the Senate race is about running against Douglas, not winning), so this is answered.
- For option C: The article says "two men traveled all over Illinois" to have debates, so this is answered.
- For option D: The article talks about where Lincoln's wrestling matches took place (outside a store in New Salem, Illinois) but never mentions him wrestling a gang leader, so this question is not answered.
# Answer:
D. Where did Lincoln wrestle a gang leader?
