Answer:

"He speaks by leave and by permission"

"It shall advantage more than do us wrong."

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Julius Caesar" revolves around the murder of Julius Caesar by some conspirators among which is his close friend Brutus. The death was a result of their refusal to accept him as the legal heir and ruler of the Roman empire, for they feel that he was more interested in his personal gain and power and not for the interest of the nation.

Two quotes that support the central idea of what the conspirator believes will be beneficial for them are "He speaks by leave and by permission" and "It shall advantage more than do us wrong." Through these two quotes, Brutus implies that if Antony is given the chance to talk to the people, it will benefit their cause and even help them. Instead of angering the masses and Antony, it might be in their best interest if they let a close friend Antony give his speech, so that in doing so, they (the conspirators) may be understood and not be blamed for the death of Caesar.

Thus, the correct answers are the second and fourth options.
