[BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my
not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.
As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was
valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his
fortune, honour for his valour, and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman?
[ANTONY.] Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And sure he is an honourable man.
Which statement best compares the two monologues?
A)Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.
B)Brutus describes Caesar’s generosity and compassion, while Antony describes his heartless nature.
C)Both Brutus and Antony describe Caesar’s weakness in battle.
D)Neither Brutus or Antony addresses the crowd directly.

Ответ:
A) Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the assassination of Julius Caesar and the struggle for power that ensued. The play deals with themes of loyalty, greed, power, fate, honor, etc.
In the given monologues from both Antony and Brutus, the two "friends" of Julius Caesar spoke of Brutus and how different they viewed each other. By asking rhetorical questions, Brutus and Antony spoke of the Caesar they know, the person they are proud to call a friend. But at the same time, both used these rhetorical questions to make their points, that Caesar was a great man and that his death was a tragedy.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Ответ:
''That is just a figure of speech.'' If you have heard someone say this, you already know a little about what figurative language is. If someone says ''I'm going to die if I have to read another page of this book,'' we know that the person is not being literal. They are exaggerating, or using a figure of speech called hyperbole. What they really mean is they do not want to read the book because they do not like it. They are not literally going to die; they are using a figure of speech, or figurative language, to make it clear just how they feel. In life, (and in stories like The Odyssey) figurative language helps us express ideas without being restricted to the facts.
