Questions: What do Stephano and Trinculo do when they hear mysterious music on the island?

The answer is A: They fear for their lives.

Explanation for each option:

A. They fear for their lives. - This is the correct answer. In William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," Stephano and Trinculo, along with Caliban, hear mysterious music on the island. Their reaction is one of fear and confusion, as they are not accustomed to the magical occurrences on the island.

B. They beg Caliban for protection. - This option is incorrect. While Caliban is with them, they do not specifically beg him for protection when they hear the music. Instead, they are more focused on their own fear and confusion.

C. They hide in the nearby bushes. - This option is incorrect. There is no specific mention of them hiding in bushes in response to the music. Their primary reaction is fear.

D. They draw their swords. - This option is incorrect. Stephano and Trinculo do not draw their swords in response to the music. Their reaction is more about fear and bewilderment rather than preparing to fight.
