Read the excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson’s speech, “War Message to Congress”.

Answer 1

Effective because President Wilson outlines the emotional reasons for entering the war.

Answer: Option 2.

Explanation:

In a speech that was given by President Wilson to the house of the congress and to the people of the United States of America, he talks about the country getting involved and engaged in the war to fight for protecting their own country and the vindication of right, of human right.

In the speech given by him, he makes use of the emotions to persuade the listeners of the speech. One of the best emotions used by the president in the speech is "American ships have been sunk, American lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us very deeply". This moves both the house of the congress and they get themselves involved in the war.
