Question

read the excerpts from roosevelts \four freedoms\ speech and lincolns \gettysburg address.\
roosevelt:
since the beginning of our american history, we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual peaceful revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. the world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
this nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of
which theme is expressed in both excerpts?
○ americans must never forget the unfinished work of deceased soldiers.
○ americans must continue the deceased soldiers fight to preserve both democracy and equality.
○ americans must create a new form of government to honor lost soldiers.
○ americans must dedicate their lives to honoring those soldiers who lost their lives in a previous war.

Explanation:

Roosevelt's excerpt emphasizes ongoing peaceful change to uphold a free, cooperative world order tied to democracy. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address centers on continuing the work of fallen soldiers to preserve the nation's democratic ideals of equality and freedom. The overlapping theme is carrying forward the fight for democracy and equality started by those who sacrificed. Other options are incorrect: the first focuses only on unfinished work without the democracy/equality core, the third is not referenced in either text, and the fourth prioritizes honoring over continuing the fight for the values the soldiers defended.

Answer:

Americans must continue the deceased soldiers’ fight to preserve both democracy and equality.
