The speech is "startling" means surprising. Hence for 1st blank antonym of earthiness (meaning simple and no showiness) will be the answer. Both B and C have positive connotation. Elegance will work well.
Now, the 2nd blank should go in similar to 1st blank (because of the word juicy). Vulgarity can go with the word juicy. Tactless and raciness are out of context.
Hence, A and F.
