Answer: The two themes present in this play are:

  1. freedom and subordination
  2. the supernatural

Explanation:

<em>The Tempest</em> is Shakespeare's play about a magician named Prospero. He has been banished from his dukedom and arrives on an enchanted island together with his daughter. Prospero was preoccupied with his books and magic, and he neglected his state duties.

  1. On the island, Prospero imprisons Caliban, a strange creature that tries to take his daughter's innocence. Caliban becomes Prospero's slave, and Prospero teaches him language and forces him to carry out certain tasks for him. The only native on the island, Caliban becomes a slave and loses his freedom. Ariel, Prospero's servant, certainly has more freedom than Caliban, but is also under Prospero's control and reminds him that he promised him freedom: <em>"Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains...."</em>
  2. The theme of supernatural is present from the very beginning of the play. The tempest itself is a product of Prospero's wizardry. His magic gives him power and enables him to take revenge on his enemies. But magic is also Prospero's main weakness, as his preoccupation with it resulted in his failure as a ruler. Apart from Prospero, Ariel also uses magic to carry out his tasks. By creating magic, Ariel makes people fall asleep, creates music, and does all those "funny tricks." After all, this is an enchanted island, and Caliban perfectly describes it in one of the most famous lines from this play: "<em>The isle is full of noises, Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not....."</em>

Minutia
Marta_Voda [28]
Minutia means a small piece of information which might not be entirely significant. Its plural form is “minutae”.  
 
Sample sentence: It’s essential that everyone should know the overview of the entire system; however, you need not to focus on the minutiae of everything.  
<span>
Basically, minutia is a small detail, so (A) a significant idea and (B) an influential person are obviously not the answers. Between C and D, C can be the closest because of the word “simple”. A minutia can be an explanation or instruction but its core essence if insignificant. So, C is the best answer. </span>

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

<em>Option B. Burns' use of hyperbole contribute to the meaning of the poem as it illustrates the extent of his love for the subject of the poem.</em>

Explanation:

"A Red, Red Rose" is a 1794 song written by author Robert Burns. As seen in the quote from the song provided in the question, the author utilizes the literary device of hyperbole  which is the use of exaggeration as figure of speech. Burns' use of hyperbole emphasizes the strong feelings that the narrator has toward his loved one, as it creates a strong impression of how he is feeling toward her.
