Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Queen Elizabeth, I had been the monarch of the British throne without any husband or even a legitimate heir to succeed her to the throne. Not only that, she was a woman and these issues would crop up as a national security question for her enemies or even subjects.

But in both speeches, she made an appeal to logic by asserting her capability to be not only the leader of the kingdom but also as a woman and without a husband. She presents herself as a strong leader and fully aware and capable of leading the nation even during wars. In her response to the marriage issue, she replied, "I will never in that matter conclude anything that shall be prejudicial to the realm, for the weal, good and safety whereof I will never shun to spend my life." And in the speech to the Tilbury troops, she declared, "I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too."

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
