Question 7 • 2026-2027_MDCPS_1001375_English 3_Sem 1

Which quotation correctly uses an ellipses?

Answer
A
“The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above. . . .”
B
“The brave men . . . who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to detract.”
C
“The brave men . . . who struggled here. . . .”
D
“The brave men . . . far above our poor power to add or detract.”

Explanation

An ellipsis marks words omitted from a quotation. In choice D, the ellipsis replaces the omitted words between “The brave men” and “far above,” while the remaining words stay in their original order. Choice B leaves out “add or” before “detract” without marking that omission, and choice A incorrectly places a period after “above.”
