Explanation:

First Question (Why is the soothsayer...):
Brief Explanations

A stock character is a stereotypical character that recurs in specific drama types. The soothsayer in Julius Caesar fits this: he’s a typical fortune - telling/stereotyped figure in tragedies. The other options are incorrect: contrasting with protagonist isn't stock - character - defining, he is a minor character, and the “neither main nor minor” is wrong.

Brief Explanations

Major characters (like protagonists/antagonists) are usually dynamic (they change). Static characters don't change and are more typical of minor or stock characters. So “they are typically static characters” is false. The other options are true: major characters often are dynamic, include protagonist/antagonist.

Brief Explanations

Internal conflict is a character’s inner struggle. Brutus weighing killing Caesar is his internal moral/decision - making struggle. The others are external: Casca’s action is physical, Brutus - Cassius disagreement is interpersonal, Cinna’s explanation is external (with others).

Answer:

he is a stereotypical type of character that appears in particular types of dramas
