passage 1
the good king arthur
adapted from myths and legends of all nations
by logan marshall
the boy arthur was the son of king uther pendragon, but uther had given him into the care of the enchanter merlin, who had carried him to the castle of sir hector.
merlin was a very wise man, and when king uther died several years later, the noblemen asked his advice in choosing a new king.

The red speech bubble is about fetching a sword for his brother (not the main point of his kingship), the yellow one implies strength (but the key is being the only one who can remove it, not just strength), and the green one mentions magical powers (not supported by the passage). The blue speech bubble matches the core event of Arthur becoming king by being the only one to remove the sword.

Answer:

The speech bubble with the text "Arthur becomes king because he is the only one able to remove the sword." (the blue - colored speech bubble)
