Answer quickly
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 da-mnèd casca, like a cur, behind,
struck caesar on the neck. o you flatterers!

cur and dog mean the same thing denotatively. which statement best explains why antony uses the word cur rather than dog to describe casca?

antony wants to emphasize casca’s noble standing.
antony has contempt for casca and is insulting him.
antony tries to blame the assassination on casca.
antony wants to describe casca as a well-trained dog.

-the correct answer is Antony has contempt for Casca and is insulting him.

Explanation: Antony wants to use a more pejorative term since a cur also means a mean, cowardly person.

Antony has contempt for Casca and is insulting him.

Explanation: In this excerpt from Act V, Scene I of "Julius Caesar", the statement that best explains why Antony uses the word "cur" rather than dog to describe Casca is Antony has contempt for Casca and is insulting him. The armies are on the battlefield. Before the battle starts Antony insults the conspirators. He uses the word cur to insult Casca because he despises him.
