Answer:

D. The nobles speak poetically, while commoners speak in a direct manner.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tempest is a play written by William Shakespeare. The first scene takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest and the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero lives with his daughter Miranda and his two servants. Many of the characters of the play are in a master-servant relationship. One of the demonstrations of a difference in power is the way different characters speak - the nobles speak poetically, while commoners speak in a direct manner.
