In this excerpt from lincoln's first inaugural address, he argues that the divided northerners and southerners must stay united:

we are not enemies, but friends. we must not be enemies. though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. the mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

which type of appeal does president lincoln use in this excerpt?
emotional appeal
ethical appeal
logical appeal
moral appeal

Option A. In his first Inaugural Address, President Lincoln uses an emotional appeal.

Explanation:

On March 4th, 1866Abraham Lincoln swore as President of the United States and with it gave his first inaugural speech. In the excerpt President Lincoln addresses the audience about the country's need for reconciliation between the North and the South, and he uses an emotional appeal to try convince the audience. The President invokes feelings such as passion and affection, and even mentions the soldiers lost in battlefield on both ends, and how everyone should honor them in life.

An emotional appeal is a logical fallacy, in which the speaker tries to sway the emotions of the audience to make them support his/her argument.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
