Read the passage from the gettysburg address by abraham lincoln. 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 . . what does abraham lincoln propose the audience do to ensure that the men who lay dead at gettysburg shall not have died in vain? continue to fight for the preservation of the union make the battlefield at gettysburg a national park hold annual memorial services to commemorate the dead

The correct answer is " to continue to fight for the preservation of the Union."

When Lincoln states "the cause for which they gave their last full measure of their devotion" he is referring to the Union. He wants to convince the audience to continue "the great task remaining before us" which is to fight for the Union.

The answer is: continue to fight for the preservation of the Union

In the Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln’s purpose was to encourage the people, to inspire them to continue fighting as the Civil War was not over yet, he want to honored the deaths of the fallen soldiers by increasing the devotion for the cause “for which they gave the last full measure of devotion”, the way to ensure that these soldiers did not died in vain is completing “the great task remaining before” them.
