What is the double meaning of Antony's statement that Brutus's cut was "the most

unkindest cut of all"?
O it was the first cut and Brutus stabbed Caesar in the back.
O It was the most gruesome cut and brutus cried, "Liberty and freedom to Rome!"
O It was the cut that finally killed Caesar and because it was from Brutus, whom Caesar considered a
trusted friend.
O Brutus a known enemy of Caesar's

Answer:

It was the cut that finally killed Caesar and because it was from Brutus, whom Caesar considered a trusted friend.

Step-by-step explanation:

First choice: there is no proof that Brutus stabbed Caesar first, nor that he stabbed Caesar in the back

Second choice: there is no proof that it was the most gruesome cut

Fourth choice: Brutus was not a known enemy of Caesar's; in fact, he was Caesar's friend

The third choice is the only one left (and there is information to prove this), so the third is correct.
