Read the excerpt from abraham lincoln's gettysburg address. but, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot 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. lincoln uses parallelism in this excerpt to acknowledge the limitations of the memorial ceremony. criticize the audience for its disinterest in the war. encourage soldiers to continue the fight for national unity. emphasize the need for improved military strategy.

The correct answer is: To acknowledge the limitations of the memorial ceremony.

In the excerpt, the use of parallelism is identified in the extract "... we cannot dedicate - we cannot consecrate - we cannot hallow this ground." This device is used by the speaker to emphasize the inability of the ceremony itself to live up to its objective, which is to honor fallen soldiers. Of course, the significance of this claim is purely poetic, and it reflects how deeply the facts affected the speaker's emotions. It is subjected to opinion whether the ceremony is honorable or not.
