Read these lines from Whitman’s "O Captain! My Captain!".
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
Which line from Lincoln’s "Gettysburg Address appeals to the audience’s emotions in a similar way?
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live.

The fourth line:
"We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live."
Why: like Whitman’s lines, this sentence directly evokes death and sacrifice and creates a solemn, mournful tone (final resting place, gave their lives), appealing to the audience’s emotions (pathos).
