From Plutarch’s Life of Julius Caesar:

But when the will of Caesar was opened and it was found that he had given every Roman citizen a considerable gift, and when the multitude saw his body carried through the forum all disfigured with its wounds, they no longer kept themselves within the restraints of order and discipline, but after heaping round the body benches, railings, and tables from the forum they set fire to them and burned it there; then, lifting blazing brands on high, they ran to the houses of the murderers with intent to burn them down, while others went every whither through the city seeking to seize the men themselves and tear them to pieces.

Which of the following statements best summarizes the passage from Plutarch’s Lives?

A. Antony gives a eulogy over the body of Caesar in the forum, but the citizens do not listen.

B. The citizens burn Rome following a speech by Brutus about why he and others killed Caesar.

C. As a result of hearing the will of Caesar, which leaves money to each citizen, the crowd seeks revenge against the men who killed him.

D. The crowd runs to the houses of the conspirators to burn them down with flaming sticks from Caesar’s funeral pyre.

Which line from Julius Caesar best illustrates how Shakespeare connects the actions of the crowd described in Plutarch’s text with a specific trigger or cause, thereby creating more drama?

A.“Read the will! we’ll hear it, Antony;

B.“’Tis good you know not that you are his heirs; / For if you should, O, what would come / of it!”

C.“I fear I wrong the honorable men Whose daggers have stabb’d Caesar; I do fear it.”

D.“Room for Antony!--most noble Antony!”
