Question

Which phrase from this passage most clearly shows Crusoe's preoccupation

Answer 1

The phrase from the passage which most clearly shows Crusoe's preoccupation  with mastery (c) Undoubted right of dominion.

Explanation:

It 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,

allowed liberty of conscience throughout my dominions

From the above Passage  we can see Crusoe assumption  about the similarities he has with a king, because he considers the whole country, as his property and he allows his people to follow  different religions and beliefs,(his 3 subjects are all of different religion) by saying that he has the "undoubted right of dominion" over his land, he demonstrates his preoccupation with mastery.
