AEuropeans took away the native populations' freedom like Prospero took Caliban's freedom.

CEuropeans brought better culture and education to the native populations just as Prospero taught Caliban a new language.
DEuropeans bought the native populations' goods and made them prosperous when they colonized the land, much like Prospero taking Caliban on as a worker.

Verified Answer :

the answer on apex is A


Answer: A. Europeans took away the native populations' freedom like Prospero took Caliban's freedom.

The relationship between Prospero and Caliban is a reflection of the relationship between colonies and colonial powers. Although Caliban is the original inhabitant of the island (as well as Ariel), Prospero has enslaved him and now calls himself the King of the island. This is similar to how Europeans took away the native populations' freedom when they established their colonies.
