Correct Answer: saved the Union during
Solution : The most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment is the third option.
The original sentence has an error because it combines " has been" (present perfect tense) with "save " (present tense). To maintain tense consistency, we should use "saved " to match the past tense of the American Civil War. " During " correctly expresses the time frame in which Lincoln played a significant role in saving the Union during the American Civil War.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Abraham Lincoln has been the sixteenth president of the United States and saved the Union during the American Civil War."
