Explanation:

In the text, Brutus is dealing with the aftermath of events. The moral dilemmas presented are related to the consequences of actions (like the death of a person whose funeral is not in the camp). War often leads to tragic situations such as loss of life and difficult decisions. The text shows Brutus having to make arrangements (sending the body to Thasos, not having the funeral in the camp) which are tragic results of the war - related events.

Answer:

Both dilemmas demonstrate the tragic results of war.
