Caesar:
i could be well moved if i were as you.
if i could pray to move, prayers would move me.
but i am constant as the northern star,
of whose true fixed and resting quality
there is no fellow in the firmament . .
so in the world: ā€˜tis furnished well with men,
and men are flesh and blood, and apprehensive;
yet in the number i do know but one
that unassailable holds on his rank,
unshaked of motion; and that i am he . .

how does shakespeareā€™s use of the specific simile ā€œi am constant as the northern starā€ support the statements he makes in the rest of his speech?

a. caesar says that heā€™s constant like the northern star but that he can change his mind depending on what other men say or do.
b. caesar says that he is never set like the northern star, but instead, he likes to change his mind and actions just like other men do.
c. caesar says that heā€™s as constant as the northern star set in the sky, and he talks about the ways he differs from other men by being constant.
d. caesar says that heā€™s not set like the northern star, and he talks about the ways he is like other men by being constant.

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
