Answer
A
Brutus finds honor in taking his life when his armies are defeated.
B
The audience pities Brutus because he has good intentions but is still defeated.
C
Brutus is easily manipulated and persuaded by others.
D
Mark Antony decides to go to war against the conspirators to avenge Caesar.

Explanation

A tragic flaw is a weakness in a character that contributes to the character’s downfall. Brutus is persuaded by Cassius and others to join the conspiracy, even though he has doubts and trusts their arguments too readily. This makes “Brutus is easily manipulated and persuaded by others” the best evidence of his flaw.
