The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 2: Causal Relationships

Question 1 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

In this passage, it can be inferred that Cassius is motivated to use Brutus’s status to convince him to join the conspiracy. Which line best supports this motivation?

Answer
A
“Caesar doth bear me hard, but he loves Brutus”
B
“For we will shake him, or worse days endure”
C
“Yet I see / Thy honourable mettle may be wrought”
D
“Caesar’s ambition shall be glancèd at”

Explanation

Cassius recognizes that Brutus’s honorable reputation and character can help persuade him to join the conspiracy. When he says, “Thy honourable mettle may be wrought,” he means Brutus’s sense of honor can be shaped or used to influence him. This directly supports the idea that Cassius wants to use Brutus’s standing to win him over.
