Which conclusion does Brutus' argument best support?
Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1
DECIUS. Shall no man else be touched, but only
Caesar?
CASSIUS. Decius, well urged. I think it is not meet
Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar,
Should outlive Caesar. We shall find of him
A shrewd contriver. And you know his means, 35
If he improve them, may well stretch so far
As to annoy us all, which to prevent,
Let Antony and Caesar fall together
BRUTUS. Our course will seem too bloody, Caius
Cassius,
To cut the head off and then hack the limbs,
40
Like wrath in death and envy afterwards
For Antony is but a limb of Caesar
Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.
We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar
O Mark Antony's life will be spared because he will be
useless without Caesar
O Mark Antony should also be assassinated because
he and Caesar are so close
O All of Caesar's followers should be put to death,
not just Mark Antony
O No matter whom Brutus and the others kill, the
people will see Brutus and the others as murderers.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
