QUESTION 1: The correct answer is A.

Antony's character is known for his rethoric and his persuasive techniques. Because of this, Cassius fears that, after Caesar's assassination, Antony will step up and prove to be as difficult to control as Caesar himself.

QUESTION 2: The correct answer is B.

During the first two acts of the play "Julius Caesar" Shakespeare focuses on the themes of honor and betrayal.

The character of Brutus is the main representation of honor: he loves Caesar but loves Rome and his honor more; and he refuses to be ruled by someone he does not see like superior to himself.

The theme of betrayal is shown by Cassius and the rest of the conspirators, who reclute Brutus and get him to help them to kill his friend, Caesar, before he is crowned as King.

QUESTION 3: The correct answer is A.

The play "Julius Caesar" is based on true historical events, which lead to the Roman Emperor's death. It also include real figures like Caesar himself and Mark Antony.

QUESTION 4: The correct answer is A.

The main difference between Cassius and Brutus is that, even though they both conspired to kill Caesar, Brutus did it for his love of Rome and his fear that Caesar would become a tyrant.

Despite defending his decition, Brutus feels haunted by it, and eventually cannot take it any longer and commits suicide.

On the other hand, Cassius is manipulative and feels no remorse for what he has done.

QUESTION 5: The correct answer is A.

When Decius appears to bring Caesar to the Senate, Caesar tells him that he will not be attending the meeting because of his wife's nightmare.

However, Decius interprets Calpurnia's dream as a good sign rather than a bad oment, and tells Caesar that the Senate plans to crown him that day, and that if he does not show up, they migh believe him to be afraid and change their decition.
