Question

b. To warn him about a plot against him.
c. To ask for his support in a political campaign.
d. To challenge him to a duel.

Answer 1

c) To ask for his support in a political campaign

Step-by-step explanation:

in William shakespear’s play Julius Caesar, Brutus receives letters from various Romans supporting him and disparaging Caesar, which gives Brutus the impression that because of Caesar, Rome is at risk of falling, and Brutus is required to stop this from happening; in reality, the letters were all written by Cassius, and were written with the intention of getting Brutus to join the conspiracy against Caesar

Answer 2

Cassius has letters delivered to Brutus in Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' to manipulate him into joining the conspiracy against Caesar, by suggesting popular support for Brutus's leadership and opposition to Caesar's autocratic rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The letters delivered to Brutus by Cassius in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar are part of a manipulative ploy by Cassius to persuade Brutus to join the conspiracy against Julius Caesar. Cassius hopes to sway Brutus against Caesar by fabricating evidence of popular support for Brutus's assumed opposition to Caesar's growing power.

The letters are not for celebration, a warning, a political campaign support request, or a duel challenge, but rather to inflame Brutus's sense of honor and republican virtue to convince him that overthrowing Caesar is justified by the will of the people.
