Question

my loving people,
we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety to take heed how we commit ourselves to our armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but i assure you i do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. let tyrants fear. i have always so behaved myself that, under god, i have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore i am come amongst you, as you see, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my god, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. . .
i know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you on word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. in the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over these enemies of my god, of my kingdom, and of my people.
adapted from queen elizabeth i, \speech to the troops at tilbury\
how does this strategy help queen elizabeth i encourage her soldiers before a battle?
it inspires her soldiers to believe that they, too, can gain power.
it makes her soldiers sympathize with the common people.
it inspires her soldiers to trust in her leadership.
it makes her soldiers see her as a vulnerable queen who needs protection.

Explanation:

Queen Elizabeth I emphasizes her trust in her people ("I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people"), her reliance on their loyalty ("placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good - will of my subjects"), and her commitment to be with them in battle ("to live and die amongst you all"). These statements are aimed at building trust in her leadership. There is no mention of soldiers gaining power (no indication of upward social or power mobility for them). There is no focus on making soldiers sympathize with common people (the speech is about the queen and her soldiers against enemies). And she presents herself as a strong leader willing to die for her cause, not a vulnerable queen needing protection.

Answer:

It inspires her soldiers to trust in her leadership.
