Answer:

(d) Ferdinand stacking wood for Prospero

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is about the play "The Tempest" written by Shakespeare.

The play is a story of revenge, romance and magic. And it all starts with a storm that strikes a ship carrying Alonso, Fernando, Sebastian, Antonio, Gonzalo, Stephano and Trinculo, who are on their way to Italy after the wedding of Alonso's daughter Claribel with the Prince of Tunis in Africa. The wreck is imminent, everyone begins to fear for their lives. Lightning strikes the ship, cracking it. Everyone prepares to sink.

In "The Tempest" the reader will be informed at the outset that all enemies of the central character, Prospero, will be at his disposal from the wreck, which both he and his daughter Miranda witnessed, meaning he wants to inflict on his disaffected ones that on board that ship was his vision of justice on the island where they sank. In other words, your island. But for you, the reader, who wants to know the reason for this will to justice, let us begin by saying this: the imbroglio of this story involves a usurpation of the throne of Prospero by his brother, Antony, with the help of the king of Naples, Alonso, and Prospero's quest to restore justice. All this is what will set the tone of this piece.

An event in this play that shows a loss of power is when Ferdinand stacks wood for Prospero, the man who is his father's greatest enemy.
