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, while 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 next, after caesar? select three options. o o mighty caesar! dost thou lie so low? / are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, / shrunk to this little measure? o i know not, gentlemen, what you intend— / who else must be let blood, who else is rank. o if i myself, there is no hour so fit / as caesars death hour, nor no instrument / of half that worth as those your swords. o live a thousand years, i shall not find myself so apt to die. o 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.

Explanation:

• The first option emphasizes Antony's connection to Caesar (mentioning Caesar's conquests, glories, etc.), suggesting a parallel in honor.
• The third option shows Antony's readiness to die after Caesar (comparing his worth to Caesar's).
• The fourth option indicates Antony's preference to die next to Caesar rather than by any other means 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”
• “Use a Roman’s sword. I will not find myself so apt / To die”
