Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar , act 1, scene 2. CASCA: I know not what you mean by that, but I am sure (265) Caesar fell down. If the tag-rag people did not clap him and hiss him, according as he pleased and displeased them, as they use to do the players in the theatre, I am no true man. BRUTUS: What said he when he came unto himself? (270) CASCA: Marry, before he fell down, when he perceived the common herd was glad he refused the crown, he plucked me open his doublet and offered them his throat to cut. An I had been a man of any occupation, if I would not have taken him at a word, (275) I would I might go to hell among the rogues. And so he fell. Which prediction about the plot does this passage most support?
Answer
A
Caesar will assassinate Casca.
B
Caesar will be killed by his people.
C
Caesar will die of a horrible illness.
D
Caesar will turn over his power to the people.
Explanation
Casca says Caesar offered the crowd his throat, and that he himself would have taken Caesar at his word if he had been in a position to do so. This foreshadows Caesar being killed by fellow Romans, whom he considers his people. The passage does not suggest that Caesar will die from illness or give up his power.
