Question

[I]t was a merry reflection, which I frequently made, how like a king I looked. First of all, the whole country was my own mere property, so that I had an undoubted right of dominion. . . . It was remarkable, too, I had but three subjects, and they were of three different religions: my man Friday was a Protestant, his father was a Pagan and a cannibal, and the Spaniard was a Papist. However, I allowed liberty of conscience throughout my dominions (217). Which phrase from this passage most clearly shows Crusoe's preoccupation with mastery? A. They were of three different religions B. It was a merry reflection C. Liberty of conscience D. Undoubted right of dominion
