A. Stephano's interest in Caliban is purely selfish.

Stephano is the butler of King Alonso in the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Stephano, along with Trinculo and Caliban, plotted against Prospero, the former Duke of Milan and ruler of the island. Stephano wants to take over the island and marry Miranda, Prospero's daughter. In these lines, we can see that Stephano's interest in Caliban is purely selfish, and that he has no interest in his well-being.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
