Question

read the excerpt from act 3, scene 1, of julius caesar.
antony. o mighty caesar! dost thou lie so low?
are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils,
shrunk to this little measure? fare thee well.—
i know not, gentlemen, what you intend—
who else must be let blood, who else is rank.
if i myself, there is no hour so fit
as caesars death hour, nor no instrument
of half that worth as those your swords, made rich
with the most noble blood of all this world.
i do beseech ye, if you bear me hard,
now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke,
fulfil your pleasure. live a thousand years,
i shall not find myself so apt to die.
no place will please me so, no mean of death,
as here by caesar, and by you cut off,
the choice and master spirits of this age.
which quotations support the central idea that if antony were to be killed, he would be honored to die now, after caesar? select three options.
\o mighty caesar! dost thou lie so low? / are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, / shrunk to this little measure?\
\i know not, gentlemen, what you intend— / who else must be let blood, who else is rank.\
\if i myself, there is no hour so fit / as caesars death hour, nor no instrument / of half that worth as those your swords\
\live a thousand years, / i shall not find myself so apt to die.\

o place will please me so, no mean of death, / as here by caesar, and by you cut off\

Explanation:

• The first quote "O mighty Caesar! Dost thou lie so low? / Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, / Shrunk to this little measure?" shows Antony's sense of Caesar's great status and how dying now (after Caesar) would be a significant (honorable in a sense of being related to Caesar's legacy) end as Caesar was a mighty figure.
• The third quote "If I myself, there is no hour so fit / As Caesar's death hour, nor no instrument / Of half that worth as those your swords" implies that dying at the time (after Caesar's death) and by the means (swords that killed Caesar) is a worthy (honorable in terms of connection to Caesar's end) way to die.
• The fifth quote "No place will please me so, no mean of death, / As here by Caesar, and by you cut off" clearly states that dying by Caesar (associated with Caesar's presence, so after Caesar's death in this context) and by the hands (implied by "by you cut off" as they are the ones who killed Caesar) is a preferred (honorable as it's connected to Caesar's end) form of death.

Answer:

• “O mighty Caesar! Dost thou lie so low? / Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, / Shrunk to this little measure?”
• “If I myself, there is no hour so fit / As Caesar's death hour, nor no instrument / Of half that worth as those your swords”
• “No place will please me so, no mean of death, / As here by Caesar, and by you cut off”
