Read the following passage from "The Gettysburg Address" and answer the question.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate…we cannot consecrate…we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of this passage?

Wars can be won with both words and actions.
Actions, not words, are what make a soldier into a hero.
The world will soon forget the words of a president but will always remember the actions of a soldier.
The words of a memorial have little meaning if the cause for which the soldiers died is forgotten or abandoned.
