they are treated evenly and in a very matter-of-fact manner.
they are treated as if they are ultimately incomprehensible.

The correct answer for the main concepts is treated in both poems. They are treated evenly and in a very matter-of-fact manner.

Explanation:

The two major poems are on the belief of religion and the fact of life and death are "Some keep the sabbath going to church" and "Because I could not stop for death".

Both the poems are based on the matter of fact that is the belief in God and the death of human life. Equal importance has been given to these aspects of life as it has a different role other than the rest aspects.

They are treated evenly and in a very matter-of-fact manner.

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson's poems "Some Keep The Sabbath Going To Church" and "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" are two of her major poems that touches on the theme of religiosity and belief. But, it also deals with the issue of life and death/ faith and belief in a matter-of-factly manner.

"Some Keep The Sabbath Going To Church" talks of her decision to be religious even from the space of her own home. She believes that one can worship God even without the need to attend church, all dressed up, as long as one held the statues and characters of God's children.

Likewise, "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" also deals with the very important part of a human's life- that is death, which the poet said visited her as she was busy to even have time to die. Personifying death as a "kindly gentleman", she tells of how death came to her instead of her dying/going to death.

Both these poems deal with the very important points of an individual's life, that is belief in religion/ God and death. But she treated them as if they are not too important, just part of the normal human life. But she also did not undervalue them either. They have their importance to a certain extent, but not beyond that.

Thus, both poems were treated in an evenly and in a matter-of-fact manner, not giving less importance but at the same time not not overdoing it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
