A. Matter-of-fact

Explanation:

The tone present in the first paragraphs of the story is one of matter-of-fact. In this story, we learn that Gregor Samsa woke up one day to find that he had been turned into a giant insect. However, the reader learns this information from the author in a calm, accepting and matter-of-fact way. The author expresses no panic or confusion about the event.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
