Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 1.FLAVIUS. It is no matter; let no images Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about, And drive away the vulgar from the streets: So do you too where you perceive them thick.70 These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing Will make him fly an ordinary pitch, Who else would soar above the view of men And keep us all in servile fearfulness. [Exeunt]

Answer
A
joy
B
loyalty
C
arrogance
D
dedication

Explanation

Flavius compares Caesar to a bird whose growing feathers let him fly higher than other people. Plucking those feathers would keep Caesar from rising above the rest and ruling over them. The passage therefore warns against Caesar’s pride and sense of superiority, which best matches “arrogance.”
