Tempest?
I prithee, let me bring thee where crabs grow;
And I with my long nails will dig thee pignuts;

To clustering filberts and sometimes I'll get thee
Young scamels from the rock. Wilt thou go with me?

Explanation: APEX

Answer 2

I also think the answer to be letter B. It illustrates that Caliban is intelligent and well spoken.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Tempest" is a play by Shakespeare set in an island ruled by former Duke of Milan, Prospero. He has two servants, an air spirit called Ariel, and a native islander called Caliban. Even though Caliban is often referred to as a monster, he is perfectly capable of understanding and of expressing himself. He's quite smart, and his comments quickly show us he's unhappy with his situation, since he should be the island's ruler - his mother was a witch who ruled the island before Prospero. In the excerpt we are studying here, Caliban is drunk, having been given wine by Stefano and Trinculo. His words rapidly convince the men that he shall serve them. He is articulate and intelligent enough to get the men to plot against Prospero's life. Thus, I believe the best answer to be letter B. It illustrates that Caliban is intelligent and well spoken.
