The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 5: Developing Central Ideas

Question 4 • 2026-2027_MDCPS_1001375_English 3 B-CR

Which statement best describes how Brutus’s moral dilemma supports the theme that commitment to a just cause can be costly?

Answer
A
Brutus wants to negotiate a truce with Antony.
B
Brutus is willing to kill himself to maintain his honor.
C
Brutus is gathering his allies for one last battle.
D
Brutus and Antony say farewell to each other because they will not meet again.

Explanation

Brutus believes that taking part in Caesar’s assassination was justified, but the cause has brought defeat and personal suffering. His willingness to die rather than live with dishonor shows the cost of remaining committed to what he sees as a just cause. Thus, “Brutus is willing to kill himself to maintain his honor” is the best choice.
