Hello. Unfortunately, you did not present the speeches to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for me to answer you. However, I will try to help you as much as possible.
The only way to answer this question is to read both articles completely and understand the arguments and opinions presented by the authors. After doing these readings, you should identify the text that was most significant to you. It is likely that this is the text that you agree with the author's arguments, or that managed to provoke a strong reflection in you. Once you've identified this, you should look for which part of this text that made an impact on you and managed to make you choose it. This part is the text element that was meaningful to you.
If you are hungry, you might feel inclined to turn to poaching. But be careful: this is risky. Taking livestock is theft, and theft is a felony which carries the death sentence. Killing wild animals that live on another man’s land is also against the law; even taking a single fish from a river can result in a fine of a shilling or more. It is unlikely that you will be hanged for taking a wild animal such as a rabbit; but, even so, you will get a fine amounting to three times the value of the animal as well as three months in prison, and you will have to enter into a bond to guarantee your good behavior in the future; a second offense will be treated more harshly. If a gamekeeper attacks you and you defend yourself, you can be charged with assault. You may find yourself on the gallows if you injure him.

In the excerpt about Mars, the sentence that would be the best choice for Talia to add to the "<u>What I learned</u>" column is:
Sentence 6: "Scientists believed that the face was just one of the mesas."
Talia is reading an excerpt in order to complete a table. The column she must complete now is the "<u>What I learned</u>" column.
Thus, Talia must complete the column with the main idea she grasped after reading the excerpt.
