Question

read the excerpt from abraham lincolns gettysburg address. 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 us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. which phrase from the excerpt is an example of parallelism? to be dedicated here to the unfinished work from these honored dead we take increased devotion this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom of the people, by the people, for the people

Explanation:

Parallelism involves using similar grammatical structures or patterns in a series of phrases or clauses. The phrase "of the people, by the people, for the people" uses the prepositional phrase structure "of/by/for the people" repeatedly, creating parallelism. The other options do not have this repeated, consistent grammatical structure.

Answer:

D. of the people, by the people, for the people
