Question

how is calibans idea that stephano should be king an example of faulty thinking?
a. because caliban is being manipulated by ariel into thinking stephano is a friend
b. because stephano wants to be calibans master, not just king of the island
c. because caliban doesnt realize that stephano is friends with prospero
d. because stephano is the youngest prince and cannot inherit his fathers throne

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's "The Tempest", Caliban believes Stefano should be king out of his own self - interest and a lack of understanding. Stefano wants to be Caliban's master, not just a benevolent king. Caliban fails to see Stefano's true motives. Ariel is not manipulating Caliban into thinking Stefano is a friend. Stefano is not friends with Prospero, and there is no indication in the play that Stefano is a youngest prince unable to inherit a throne.

Answer:

B. Because Stefano wants to be Caliban's master, not just king of the island
