Answer 1

This statement can be concluded:

2. Both the speech and poem are equal when it comes to the use of pathos.

Explanation:

It is rather subjective how we can value the two uses of pathos as both the statement and the poem employ it very beautifully and effectively in their address and get the point across.

one is about the death of soldiers in the civil war while the other is about the death of the President Lincoln.

Both of these show emotion and vulnerability and thus are important to be seen as having equal level of pathos even as the poem has more dramatic styles and virtues as it is a poem so it is supped to.
