Question

What connection can be made between Europe's treatment of colonial native populations and the character of Caliban?

A. The colonial native populations used the explorers as a way to escape their poverty-stricken lives, just as Caliban hopes to use Prospero as his escape to the New World.

B. The colonial native populations found their new language acquisition useful, just as Caliban feels his language skills have benefited from Prospero's teaching.

C. Caliban, like the colonized native populations, is at first grateful for new ideas and goods but then becomes resentful at this unfair treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer can't be A), because that'd just be stupid. We all know European colonization was no bueno for the native people of the land they stole.

C) holds up the best when examining the evidence from the play.

B) makes no sense because Prospero doesn't care about teaching Caliban anything. He "owns" Caliban.

Answer 2

B. The colonial native populations found their new language acquisition useful, just as Caliban feels his language skills have benefited from Prospero's teaching.

Explanation:

The connection among Prospero and Caliban is an impression of the connection among settlements and pilgrim powers. In spite of the fact that Caliban is the first occupant of the island, Prospero has oppressed him and now considers himself the King of the island. This is like how Europeans removed the local populaces' opportunity when they built up their states.
