Question

Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct answer.

He had a fever when he was in Spain,
And when the fit was on him, I did mark
How he did shake: 'tis true, this god did shake;
His coward lips did from their colour fly,
And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world
Did lose his luster: I did hear him groan:
Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the Romans
Mark him and write his speeches in their books,
Alas, it cried 'Give me some drink, Titinius,'
As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.

According to this speech, why does Cassius believe Caesar is unfit to rule?

A. Caesar loses almost every battle.
B. Caesar is cruel to his servants.
C. Caesar is not healthy enough.
D. Caesar is terrified of ghosts.

Answer 1

C. Caesar is not healthy enough. Cassius talks about Caesar being feeble and feverish and is baffled by how a man so weak should be allowed to have all the power.

Answer 2

C. Caesar is not healthy enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, Cassius believes that Caesar is not fit to rule because he is not healthy enough. Cassius tells us that he has seen how Caesar gets sick. He says that he shakes when he has a fever and his lips become white. He also says that he groans and complains like a sick girl. This leads Cassius to conclude that such a weak man should not have so much power.
