Read the excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar . CAESAR: Doth not Brutus bootless kneel? CASCA: Speak, hands, for me! [Casca stabs Caesar in the neck. Caesar catches hold of his arm. He is then stabbed by several other Conspirators, and at last by Marcus Brutus.] CAESAR: Et tu, Brute?—Then fall, Caesar! [Dies. The Senators and People retire in confusion.] Which connection could a reader best make to the text?
Answer
A
This reminds me of reading about Caesar’s assassination in history class.
B
This reminds me of reading about Caesar’s early career in the army.
C
This reminds me of the biography I read about William Shakespeare.
D
This reminds me of a book I read about political conspiracy theories.
Explanation
The excerpt shows Caesar being stabbed by several conspirators, including Brutus, and dying after saying, “Et tu, Brute?” This connects most directly to learning about Caesar’s assassination in history class. The other choices focus on Caesar’s earlier career, Shakespeare’s life, or conspiracy theories rather than the event shown.
