What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal. Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean-roll
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain
Man marks the earth with ruin-hls control
Stops with the shore: upon the watery plain
The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain
A shadow of man's ravage, save his own,
When, for a moment, like a drop of rain,
He sinks into thy depths, with bubbling groan-
What is the effect of the underlined simile?
1. It depicts the dark beauty of the ocean, comparing the dazzling waters to the sparkle of a single drop of rain.
2. It symbolizes the shallowness of human beings, comparing them unfavorably to all of the beauty and life contained in the ocean's
waters.
3. It compares the passage of time to the depths of the ocean to emphasize the length of time it takes for a fleet of ships to cross the
ocean.
O 4
It underscores the insignificance of humans, showing how powerless and inconsequential they are when compared to the vastness
of the ocean

In which part of this excerpt from the gettysburg address does president abraham lincoln argue that the outcome of the war will depend on the determination and loyalty of northern citizens? four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. we are met on a great battle-field of that war. we have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow— this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 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 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.
