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.

there are different meanings of soil. here are a few with some examples :
-"She soiled herself because her parents wouldn't take her to the bathroom." You can first assume it has to do with the bathroom because it says so in the text, now another definition of soil is dirt, or the top layer of the earth. using this definition you can assume it is dirty. Then another clue would be that SHE soiled HERSELF. Using these clues you can assume it means that she had to use the BATHROOM and because her parents wouldn't let her she went to the bathroom on herself.
-"The Gardner put some new soil down to help cover the gopher holes." You can now assume that soil has to do with gardening because it says so in the text.

The correct answer is A. They suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.
Explanation:
In the passage presented, Machiavelli explains the way the prince needs to inspire fear rather than hate "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred". According to him, this is necessary because the prince can govern if there is fear but not hate, about this, Machiavelli states the prince should never take away property because this would lead to hate form people; however, if necessary he can take life, although he recommends doing this due to proper reasons and without creating a reputation of cruelty as otherwise hate will emerge and this is not advisable.
According to this, Machiavelli proposes it is good people fear rather than hate a ruler and therefore the words feared and hatred in the passage "suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so".
