Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1. BRUTUS. It must be by his death: and for my part
I know no personal cause to spurn at him
But for the general. He would be crowned:
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder,5
And that craves wary walking. Crown him that,
And then I grant we put a sting in him
That at his will he may do danger with.
Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar . . .10

Which statement best describes the meaning of the imagery in the line "It is the bright day that brings forth the adder”? (An adder is a snake.)

The sun shines on Caesar, but he must watch his steps around others.
Brutus will kill Caesar with a bite of stinging fangs.
The warm praise of the people can cause Caesar to be more powerful and dangerous.
Some animals cannot be trusted, no matter what.
