Answer 1

ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTION:

After reading the Abraham Lincoln second Inaugural Address speech, the correct answer is “a call to action is used to ensure the audience understands his main point”.  Because he mentioned that even when they were trying to SAVE the union without war, insurgent agents had a different goal and it was to DESTROY the union without war.

Abraham Lincoln uses rhetoric with the aim of convincing the audience that what he is doing is the logical way to go in the situation they were going through.

ANSWER TO THE SECOND QUESTION:

The answer is “He declares that while they have been at war, both the North and South pray to the same God; this is meant to reinforce the idea that they are all Americans and hold the same values”. It means that while both parts of the war are praying to God in order for them to win the war (each part with different goals), they are looking alike.
