Read the excerpt from Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. Each [party] looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. Which statement best describes Lincoln's use of rhetorical appeal? A) He relies on pathos to stir listeners' anger and outrage. B) He uses logos to explain the historical significance of war. C) He relies on pathos to reveal his own conflicted emotions about war. D) He uses ethos to illustrate the similarities between North and South
