Question 10 • IC English 11 - Deering
Wilson describes American ships being sunk and American lives being lost, emphasizing the harm caused by the war. He also notes that people from other neutral and friendly nations have suffered in the same way. These losses are meant to evoke sadness in his listeners; pity focuses more specifically on feeling sorry for someone, while trust and remorse do not fit the passage as well.
