Question

1. what convinces caesar to ignore calpurnia’s dream and leave the house? *

a. antony begs him
b. decius reinterprets the dream as a good omen
c. brutus orders him to go
d. he already promised casca

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", Calpurnia has a dream she interprets as a bad omen. Decius Brutus (Decius) reinterprets the dream to make it seem like a good omen (suggesting the Romans bathing in Caesar's blood is a sign of his greatness), which convinces Caesar to leave. Option A is incorrect as Antony doesn't beg him. Option C is wrong because Brutus (the conspirator, not the same as Decius here) doesn't order him. Option D is incorrect as there's no such promise to Casca.

Answer:

B. Decius reinterprets the dream as a good omen
