To choose the sentence that provides the best transition between paragraphs 2 and 3, we need to consider the flow of information and the logical progression of ideas in the report. Paragraph 2 talks about how President Lincoln delivered one of the most memorable speeches in history, focusing on the theme of a "new birth of freedom" and the need for a united and free nation. On the other hand, paragraph 3 introduces the topic of the oldest copies of the speech being different from one another and mentions specific versions of the speech. Given this context, the sentence that provides the best transition between paragraphs 2 and 3 is: B. The spirit of Lincoln's speech is remembered well today. This sentence connects the main idea of Lincoln's impactful speech in paragraph 2 with the idea that the spirit of his speech is remembered today in paragraph 3, where the discussion shifts to the different copies and versions of the speech. This choice maintains a logical and cohesive flow of ideas in the report.
