Hello! can anyone help? [BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand

why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my

not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved

Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and

die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live

all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.

As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was

valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I

slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his

fortune, honour for his valour, and death for his

ambition. Who is here so base that would be a

bondman?

[ANTONY.] Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,

And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,

And sure he is an honourable man.

Which statement best compares the two monologues?

A. Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

B. Brutus describes Caesar’s generosity and compassion, while Antony describes his heartless nature.

C. Both Brutus and Antony describe Caesar’s weakness in battle.

D. Neither Brutus or Antony addresses the crowd directly.

Read the excerpt from "the storyteller." the smaller girl created a diversion by beginning to recite "on the road to mandalay.” she only knew the first line, but she put her limited knowledge to the fullest possible use. she repeated the line over and over again in a dreamy but resolute and very audible voice; it seemed to the bachelor as though some one had had a bet with her that she could not repeat the line aloud two thousand times without stopping. whoever it was who had made the wager was likely to lose his bet. "come over here and listen to a story,” said the aunt, when the bachelor had looked twice at her and once at the communication cord. the children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of the carriage. evidently her reputation as a storyteller did not rank high in their estimation. in a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good, and made friends with every one on account of her goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of rescuers who admired her moral character. which instances of situational irony occur in the passage? select two options. a.) “whoever it was who had made the wager was likely to lose his bet.” b.) “‘come over here and listen to a story,’ said the aunt, when the bachelor had looked twice at her and once at the communication cord.” -- c.) “the children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of the carriage.” d.) “evidently her reputation as a story-teller did not rank high in their estimation.” -- e.) “in a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good.”
