In Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, the character Prospero has taught
Caliban, an island native and now Prospero's servant, how to speak. In this
excerpt, Prospero argues with Caliban.
PROSPERO
I pitied thee,
Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour
One thing or other: when thou didst not, savage,
Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like
A thing most brutish, I endow'd thy purposes
With words that made them known.
What can be inferred about Caliban based on Prospero's choice of the word
gabble?

The answer is B.

Explanation:

In this excerpt precisely, Prospero believes that Caliban speaks in an uneducated way, and the word "gabble" is a word choice that confirms that.

Gabble means to talk rapidly and unintelligibly.

As is stated in this part, Prospero believes that he has invested his time to educate Caliban how to talk because he had gabbled previously.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
