Question

1.

Answer 1

The word having a connotative meaning similar to the word "anguish" in Passage 1 is "bereavement". Both the words "anguish" and "bereavement" means loss or deprivation of something or someone.

The answer to the given question belongs to The Bixby letter which was a brief, consoling message sent by President Abraham Lincoln in November 1864 to Lydia Parker Bixby, a widow who lived in Boston, Massachusetts. Bixby was thought to have lost her five sons in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The letter has been hailed as one of Lincoln's best written pieces, along with the Gettysburg Speech and his second inauguration address, and it is frequently cited in memorials, the media, and print. The letter's authorship, the recipient, and the fate of the recipient's sons are all controversial. At least two of Bixby's boys survived the war, the letter may have been written by Lincoln's assistant private secretary, and Bixby's character has been questioned (including claims of Confederate sympathies).
