Answer:
The correct option is E) sentence 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sentence 1 contains both example of superlative and comparative degrees.
The phrase " Abraham Lincoln distinguished himself as a remarkable orator " contains example of superlative degree as Abraham is mentioned as the great orator among all and has the greatest amount of the quality mentioned.
The second phrase "was admired more for the Gettysburg address and his two inaugural speeches" has the adjective more which is used to compare between two objects.
Hence, sentence 1 is the correct answer.
