the speakers of each passage are describing the steps that americans will take to prepare for war.

Explanation:

Kennedy's speech emphasizes paying any price for liberty's survival. Roosevelt's speech talks about sacrifices for national defense (related to freedom - as in the "Four Freedoms" which include freedom from fear etc.). Both are about dedication to the fight for freedom. The first option about civic duties is too general. The second option about warning other nations of military force is not the main focus. The fourth option about steps for war preparation is not the core - it's more about the cause (freedom) behind any actions.

Answer:

The speakers of each passage are describing the dedication of Americans to the fight for freedom.
