Explanation:

• February Revolution: In 1917, widespread discontent (due to food shortages, war casualties in World War I) led to protests. The monarchy (tsar) was overthrown. A provisional government (composed of more moderate, liberal - leaning elements) was established.
• October Revolution: The provisional government failed to address key issues like land reform and ending Russia's involvement in World War I. The Bolsheviks (led by Lenin) seized power. They overthrew the provisional government, aiming to establish a socialist state based on Marxist - Leninist ideology.

Let’s analyze other options:

• The Bolsheviks rose to power after the October Revolution, not because of the February Revolution. So, the first option is wrong.
• Russia entered World War I in 1914, long before the February Revolution (1917). So, the third option is incorrect.
• Both revolutions were influenced by socialist and communist ideas (with the Bolsheviks being a Marxist - Leninist, i.e., communist - leaning group). The distinction of sparking interest in one over the other in these terms is not an accurate difference between the two revolutions. So, the fourth option is also wrong.

Answer:

The February Revolution removed the tsar from power, while the October Revolution removed the provisional government from power.
