Which example from the tempest is the best illustration of the power of language to subjugate people?

a) miranda speaks to fernand's and tells him to take a rest from his work even though his father forbids it

b) gonzalo verbally expresses his utopian ideas to sebastian and antonio

c) prospero teaches his language to caliban and then uses it to communicate with him

d) ariel and caliban make plans to overthrow prospero in their native language so no one can understand them

The correct answer is: c) Prospero teaches his language to Caliban and then uses it to communicate with him .

In the Tempest, when Prospero arrives at the island, he enslaves Caliban and attempts to civilize him by teaching him language. Once Caliban has learned the language, Prospero can give him tasks and issue orders (such as to carry the woods). He also uses language to punish Caliban and humiliate him by calling him 'thou lying slave', 'thing of darkness', or 'monster.' In the play, language is used as a means to assume dominance.

The most effective way to combine sentences (3) and (4) is "In the story, a man is haunted by an old man’s eye, which he thinks looks like the eye of a vulture."

Explanation:

The best way to connect sentences three and four is to have them as one dependant sentence and an independent one that is connected by a relative pronoun, this makes the sentences four an extension of sentence three adding information by specifying details about the old man's eye that is mentioned in line three.
