Read this passage from a lesson about Abraham Lincoln. What inference can you logically make? Though now considered an icon of the state of Illinois, Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky. His father Thomas was not successful as a farmer and
often moved around to find odd jobs. By 1830, the Lincoln family settled near Decatur, Illinois. The young Lincoln, determined to learn, sewed
together sheets of paper to make himself a math notebook, which he used to work out math problems and measurements.
Lincoln had a happy childhood.
Thomas Lincoln was a hard worker.
Lincoln was a math genius.
Lincoln had a deprived childhood.

Lincoln had a deprived childhood.

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He was also responsible for the Emancipation Declaration that freed the slaves of specific states and thus, helped in the plight of the negro slaves.

As given in the passage, we can see that Abraham "Abe" Lincoln had a difficult and deprived childhood. Moving from one place to another, he had to help his father out. He also "sewed  together sheets of paper to make himself a math notebook, which he used to work out math problems and measurements", which shows his determination to be educated. And the very act of having to sew sheets of paper together to get himself a notebook shows the condition of the Lincoln family.

Thus, the correct answer is that he had a deprived childhood.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
