A. When Ariel accuses Antonio and Alonso of treachery against

Prospero, he gains power over them.

answer: the first one

explanation:

explicitly is defined as “in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.” the rest are interpretive and not clearly proven leaving in fact possible “confusion or doubt” which explicitly, by definition cannot have.

the characters in string all have major secrets that they strive to avoid revealing throughout the play.
