Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.ANTONY. Villains, you did not so, when your vile daggers Hacked one another in the sides of Caesar: You showed your teeth like apes, and fawned like hounds, And bowed like bondmen, kissing Caesar’s feet, Whilst damnèd Casca, like a cur, behind, Struck Caesar on the neck. O you flatterers!
Answer
A
Antony wants to praise Casca’s noble standing.
B
Antony has contempt for Casca and is insulting him.
C
Antony blames the entire assassination plot on Casca.
D
Antony wants to describe Casca as a kind and dedicated dog.
Explanation
Antony calls the conspirators “villains” and describes Casca as a “cur” who struck Caesar from behind. Calling someone a cur is an insult, and Antony’s words show contempt rather than praise. He criticizes the other conspirators too, so he is not blaming the entire plot on Casca alone.
