Question

read the excerpt from act 1, scene 2, of julius caesar.
brutus. what means this shouting? i do fear the people
choose caesar for their king.
cassius. ay, do you fear it?
then must i think you would not have it so.
brutus. i would not, cassius, yet i love him well.
but wherefore do you hold me here so long?
what is it that you would impart to me?
if it be aught toward the general good,
set honour in one eye and death rith other,
and i will look on both indifferently;
for let the gods so speed me as i love
the name of honour more than i fear death.
what is the effect of cassiuss question on brutus?
brutus begins to distrust cassiuss opinion of
caesar.
brutus tells cassius that caesar should not be king.
brutus supports caesars crowning as king of rome.
brutus supports cassiuss plan to become king.

Explanation:

Cassius asks Brutus if he fears the people choosing Caesar as their king. Brutus responds that he would not want that (Caesar as king), showing he starts to have doubts (distrust) about Caesar. The other options are incorrect: Brutus doesn't support Caesar's crowning (so the third option is wrong), he doesn't tell Cassius Caesar shouldn't be king (the second option is off - he implies it more through his reluctance), and he doesn't support Cassius's plan (the fourth option is wrong).

Answer:

Brutus begins to distrust Cassius's opinion of Caesar.
