Question

read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of julius caesar. cassius. now know you, casca, i have moved already some certain of the noblest - minded romans to undergo with me an enterprise of honourable dangerous consequence. and i do know by this, they stay for me in pompey’s porch. for now this fearful night there is no stir or walking in the streets; and the complexion of the element in favour’s like the work we have in hand, most bloody, fiery, and most terrible. what impact does the storm have on the plot? ○ causes the conspirators to move up their plan ○ makes cassius more confident about what he has in mind ○ provides time to mourn pompey’s death ○ prevents anyone from attending the planned meeting

Explanation:

Cassius frames the storm as a reflection of the violent, bold conspiracy he is organizing. He sees the chaotic, terrifying natural event as aligning with their "bloody, fiery, and most terrible" enterprise, which bolsters his certainty in his plot against Caesar. The other options are incorrect: the storm does not prompt moving up the plan, is not about mourning Pompey, and does not stop the meeting (conspirators gather in Pompey's Porch).

Answer:

makes Cassius more confident about what he has in mind
