Question

select two details from the passage that provide the strongest support for this argument.

1. \massachusetts had no small part in the second great charter of liberty.\ (paragraph 1)
2. \this is attested not only by the signatures of hancock, the adamses, paine, and gerry to that great document, but here are boston, concord, lexington, and bunker hill, and a thousand memorials of the revolution besides.\ (paragraph 1)
3. \lincoln himself said that boston had done more to bring on the war than any other city; and when emancipation had been achieved he generously credited the result to the logic and moral power of garrison and the anti - slavery people.\ (paragraph 1)
4. \this day, therefore, belongs to massachusetts. it is a part of her glorious history.\ (paragraph 2)
5. \emancipation was but the triumph of puritan principle—the right of each individual to eat his bread out of the sweat of his own brow or not at all.\ (paragraph 2)

Explanation:

To support the argument (likely about Massachusetts' role in liberty/history), option 2 provides evidence via signatures and revolutionary sites, and option 3 uses Lincoln's statements to show Boston's (in MA) impact on war and emancipation. These details offer concrete, historical support.

Answer:

1. "This is attested not only by the signatures of Hancock, the Adamses, Paine, and Gerry to that great document, but here are Boston, Concord, Lexington, and Bunker Hill, and a thousand memorials of the Revolution besides." (Paragraph 1)
2. "Lincoln himself said that Boston had done more to bring on the war than any other city; and when Emancipation had been achieved he generously credited the result 'to the logic and moral power of Garrison and the anti - slavery people.'" (Paragraph 1)
