Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.CASCA. You shall confess that you are both deceived.Here, as I point my sword, the sun arises,Which is a great way growing on the south,Weighing the youthful season of the year.Some two months hence up higher toward the northHe first presents his fire, and the high eastStands, as the Capitol, directly here.BRUTUS. Give me your hands all over, one by one.CASSIUS. And let us swear our resolution.BRUTUS. No, not an oath. If not the face of men,The sufferance of our souls, the time’s abuse—If these be motives weak, break off betimes,And every man hence to his idle bed.
Answer
A
Brutus decides to leave the resistance and warn Caesar.
B
Brutus decides that the resistance's motives are weak.
C
Brutus tells everyone to go back to bed because it is too early.
D
Brutus says that the reasons that drive their actions should be more than enough.
Explanation
Brutus refuses to swear an oath because he believes their reasons for resisting Caesar are already strong enough. He names the suffering of the people and the corruption of the times, then says that if those motives are too weak, they should abandon the plan. So he is saying their reasons should be more than enough, not that they should simply go back to bed because it is early.
