D.Of Caesar's death

Answer 1

i DONT KNOW EXCATLY FOR SURE, BUT IM PRETTY SURE ITS c.

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter C. And public reasons shall be rendered

Step-by-step explanation:

Brutus’ use of ethos means: Brutus credibility; thus, the first line cannot be possible as he is giving an order; the second option can’t either be possible, as he, as well, is giving the order of “letting the people who wish to listen to him” stay. Letter D, doesn’t give you much information as to what exactly ‘Of Caesar’s death’. Letter C, being the correct option; gives you the idea that he is giving in return or providing public reasons, he is ‘giving his word’ and the use of shall in this line, indicates determination and consequently, credibility.
