Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar. OCTAVIUS. Come, come, the cause. If arguing make us sweat,
The proof of it will turn to redder drops.
Look, I draw a sword against conspirators.
When think you that the sword goes up again?
Never, till Caesar’s three and thirty wounds
Be well avenged, or till another Caesar
Have added slaughter to the sword of traitors.

How does Shakespeare’s use of the word slaughter rather than murder affect the meaning of the passage?

It suggests that others have already killed many who had a hand in Caesar’s death.
It describes the number of wounds that Caesar suffered.
It emphasizes the savagery of the assassins’ actions toward Caesar.
It suggests that the play was filled with many brutal deaths including those caused from swords.
