read the excerpt from act 4, scene 3, of the tragedy of julius caesar.
[brutus.] with this, she fell distraught,
and, her attendants absent, swallowed fire.
cassius. and died so?
brutus. even so.
cassius. o ye immortal gods!
[enter lucius, with wine and taper]
brutus. speak no more of her. give me a bowl of wine.
in this i bury all unkindness, cassius.
cassius. my heart is thirsty for that noble pledge.
fill, lucius, till the wine o'erswell the cup;
i cannot drink too much of brutus' love.
[exit lucius. enter titinius, with messala]
brutus. come in, titinius; welcome, good messala.
now sit we close about this taper here,
and call in question our necessities.
cassius. portia, art thou gone?
brutus. no more, i pray you.
what moral dilemma does brutus confront in this excerpt?
brutus lets go of his anger toward cassius and forgives him.
brutus decides that he will not mourn portia and will stay loyal to cassius.
brutus decides that he is too angry at cassius to remain friends with him.
brutus questions whether cassius's life should be ended.

Brutus lets go of his anger toward Cassius and forgives him.

Explanation: If I recall correctly, Brutus and Cassius were arguing with each other up until this point when he mentions Portia's death, which is the stem of the internal anger he suppressed until this point. Cassius, in a way, acknowledges that he now understands Brutus' reasons for his anger. Now that Brutus has opened up to Cassius, he lets go of his anger and forgives Cassius.

Hope that helps!

The correct answer is A: Brutus lets go of his anger toward Cassius and forgives him.

I got it right on the test:)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
