When combining two independent clauses, a comma must be placed __________.a. both before and after the conjunction
b. after the conjunction
c. before the conjunction
d. between the two indpendent clauses in place of the conjunction

Answers

c. before the conjunction

When combining two sentences (or independent clauses) using a conjunction, the comma must be placed before the conjunction. This tells the reader that one complete idea is over, but there is another idea attached to it that adds more information. The second independent clause is stopped with a period so no further punctuation is necessary.
The correct answer is C. before the conjunction

All of the other mentioned comma positions would create grammatically incorrect sentences. What exists in C is called an oxford comma.

Answers

1) If I understand you correctly and you chose this statement ''the commemoration of the victims of the conflict. the appeal for democracy within the Union.'' , you are right.

2) Definitely the first one  ''feelings of pride and belonging.''

3) And the last one ''chronological, because Lincoln talks about the past, present, and future of the nation. 
order of importance, because Lincoln goes straight into the key message of the speech.''

Answer:

1. the commemoration of the victims of the conflict.

2. feelings of pride and belonging.

3. chronological, because Lincoln talks about the past, present, and future of the nation.

Explanation:

A fundamental theme of the Gettysburg Address is the commemoration of the victims of the conflict. President Lincoln offered his Gettysburg Address to state that the soldiers that are buried in that cemetery made the place sacred through what they gave in the battle.

By referring to the framers of the Declaration of Independence as "our fathers,” Lincoln appeals to his listeners' feelings of pride and belonging. It was their forefathers who signed the Declaration of Independence 87 years before, creating the United States, and based on freedom.

The organizational pattern of the Gettysburg Address is chronological because Lincoln talks about the past, present, and future of the nation. He made reference to the forefathers, the present and in the end he calls the people to continue the unfinished work of the soldiers.
