(MC)Read this sentence from Abraham Lincoln’s letter to a citizen of Kentucky: 

By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. 

Which rhetorical device does Lincoln use in this sentence, and for what purpose?

 Metaphor; shows that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
 Metaphor; shows that all parts of the whole must be protected
 Simile; shows that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
 Simile; shows that all parts of the whole must be protected
