Mark Antony understands that Brutus killed Caesar to protect the republic, so he wants Brutus kept alive

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz.

Mark Antony understands that Brutus killed Caesar to protect the republic, so he wants Brutus kept alive.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", Antony approaches conspirators in a friendly way after they killed Caesar, shaking their hands. He has many reasons to do so, the first being saving his own life. Also, he wants to know the reasons why the conspirators killed Caesar, and then pretends to sympathize with Brutus's interests in protecting the republic.

But, actually, he is planning to turn the public against conspirators through the exhibition of Caesar's body, also planning to take revenge on them.

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.
