Question

Answer 1

The answer is B.      APEX

Answer 2

The correct answer and how Caliban's idea that Stephano should be king is an example of faulty thinking is B. Because Stephano wans to be Caliban's master, not just king of the island.

Caliban tells  Stephano and Trinculo that he is "subject to a tyrant, a sorcerer, that by his cunning hath cheated me of the island." He is talking about how Prospero had become his master and Caliban wants to be released. In order to do that, they need to kill Prospero and Stephano would be the king of the island. Ironically, Caliban does not know how kingship works, and Stephano does not want to release him. He wants to be his master and king of the island. He even refers to Caliban as "servant monster" and orders him to drink.
