Answer 1

The rhetorical feature used in "The Declaration of Sentiments" but not in "Ain't I a Woman" is formal language.

While both speeches address important social issues, "The Declaration of Sentiments" employs a more formal and structured style, reflecting its purpose as a foundational document in the women's rights movement. In contrast, Sojourner Truth's speech is characterized by a more conversational and direct tone.
