Act 3 Tempest Quiz

Miranda's statement "work not so hard" suggests that the person she is speaking to is tired and should take a break or rest, while she will continue working.

The correct answer is "He refers that Ferdinand is tired." This can be inferred from the context of the statement. Prospero is speaking to Ferdinand and calling him a "poor worm," suggesting that Ferdinand is exhausted or weakened. The phrase "thou art infected" can be interpreted metaphorically, implying that Ferdinand is worn out or drained.

The correct answer is that Prospero is saying that he cannot be as happy as the others are at this moment, but nothing could make him any happier. This is evident from the statement "So glad of this as they I cannot be, Who are surprised withal." Prospero acknowledges that he cannot match the level of happiness that the others are experiencing, but he also implies that he is already extremely happy and nothing could make him even happier.

Stephan is warning Trinculo to be cautious and not say anything else to the monster. He is concerned for Trinculo's safety and wants to prevent him from getting into any more danger.

The correct answer is "I can't blame you, old lord. I am too tired." This answer accurately reflects Alonso's statement, where he acknowledges that he cannot blame the old lord because he himself is also tired.

Ferdinand's statement suggests that he believes Miranda and himself are a perfect match or compatible with each other. He sees himself as a prince and considers Miranda to be a king, implying that they are equals and meant to be together. This interpretation aligns with the idea that Ferdinand thinks they are a match.

The correct answer is "He wants revenge and wants his island back." This can be inferred from Caliban's statement that he is subject to a tyrant, a sorcerer who cheated him of the island. His desire for revenge and to regain control of the island is evident in his words.

The correct answer is "Heaven help us! What were those things?" This is the most appropriate response because it expresses a sense of shock, concern, and a desire for help or understanding. The other options either focus on killing the beings without any consideration or express confusion without seeking assistance.

Miranda's statement suggests that she is glad about something, but she considers herself a fool for crying despite being happy. This implies that she has achieved or obtained what she desired, but she still feels foolish for expressing her emotions through tears. Therefore, the correct answer is "She has what she wants but she is a fool to cry."

Stephano wants to stay on the island because he believes that the music will continue to play indefinitely. He sees the island as a wonderful kingdom where music is available for free. Stephano's love for music and his perception of the island as a paradise contribute to his desire to remain there.

The given correct answer is "I’ll start eating, even if this is my last supper." This is because Alonso's statement suggests that he is willing to eat, despite the possibility that it could be his final meal. It implies that he is prepared to enjoy his meal, regardless of the circumstances or potential consequences.

The given answer is correct. Stephano, being the king of the island, is giving instructions to someone, referred to as "servant-monster," to drink to him. This implies that there is a creature on the island who serves as both a servant and a monster. The statement does not mention bringing the king a drink, so that part of the explanation is not supported by the given information.

Caliban's statement suggests that he wants to kill Prospero while he is asleep in order to obtain his books. If Prospero were to wake up during this attempt, Caliban plans to kill him. This indicates that Caliban sees the books as valuable and believes that killing Prospero is necessary to acquire them without any trouble.

Caliban's statement "Lo, lo, again! Bite him to death, I prithee" suggests that he wants to make the person listen to him again. The phrase "bite him to death" is a metaphorical expression indicating his desire to have the person's attention and make them pay heed to his words. It does not literally mean that he wants to kill the person, but rather emphasizes his frustration and urgency in wanting to be heard.

Caliban expresses his joy and pleasure in response to the music, indicating that he likes it. He wants the person to stay with him because the music brings him happiness. Additionally, Caliban asks if the person can sing and teach him the song, suggesting his interest in learning and enjoying the music further.
