ead the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1. CASSIUS. But it is doubtful yet, Whether Caesar will come forth today or no; For he is superstitious grown of late,750 Quite from the main opinion he held once Of fantasy, of dreams and ceremonies: It may be these apparent prodigies, The unaccustomed terror of this night, And the persuasion of his augurers,755 May hold him from the Capitol today. DECIUS. Never fear that. If he be so resolved I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear That unicorns may be betrayed with trees, And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,760 Lions with toils, and men with flatterers; But when I tell him he hates flatterers; He says he does, being then most flattered. Let me work; For I can give his humour the true bent, And I will bring him to the Capitol.765 Which conclusion does this excerpt best support

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it:

Which conclusion does this excerpt best support?  

a Decius will entertain Caesar with stories to keep him home.

b Just as Cassius fears, Caesar will not come to the Capitol.

c The bad weather will make Caesar decide to stay at home.

d Decius strongly believes that he can get Caesar to go to the Capitol.

Answer:

The conclusion best supported by the excerpt is:

d. Decius strongly believes that he can get Caesar to go to the Capitol.

Explanation:

Decius is telling Cassius to not worry about Caesar not coming to the Capitol. Decius is confident that he can change Caesar's mind. He clearly has a way with words, being able to deceive and persuade. He gives an interesting example, saying that he flatters Caesar by telling him that he (Caesar) hates flatterers. He knows what Caesar likes to hear, so it is easy for him to convince him to do something.

"Julius Caesar" is a play by William Shakespeare based on the story of the Roman emperor. Caesar is betrayed and killed by his friends.

D
