Answer
A
Lucillius is protective of Cassius so he diminishes the seriousness of the conflict.
B
Lucillius tells Brutus that Cassius intends to attack Brutus, increasing the tension and conflict.
C
Lucillius does not tell Brutus much about Cassius, which causes Brutus to question the loyalty of Lucillius.
D
Lucillius explains that Cassius is far less frlendly than he once was, and Brutus uses the information to confirm his judgement that Cassius is turning against him.
Explanation
Lucillius tells Brutus that Cassius received him politely but did not show the warmth and friendship he once did. Brutus takes this as evidence that Cassius has changed and may be turning against him. This advances the plot by confirming Brutus’s suspicions and deepening the conflict between the two men, so the correct choice is D.
