Mya Martinez · Answer 2

A. addressing the first-person in plural mode

Explanation:

By referring the audience in the first-person plural mode, the authors or speaker can create unity between them and the audience. Using 'We' in your sentences, the author/speaker is addressing the audience/reader in first-person in plural form.

Lincoln, in his speech during the time of war, creates a united feeling between him and the people by using 'we' in his sentences. By including 'we' in the sentence, Lincoln emphasized that they were fighting it together.
