Final answer:
No specific excerpt provided mentions Brutus' action, but historically, Brutus is known for inciting soldiers against the king, aligning with option C).
Step-by-step explanation:
In the excerpts provided, none mention Brutus sending young men to Ardea with the purpose described in the options A) to D) of your question. However, historically considering the context of Roman history, particularly the actions and events surrounding Lucius Junius Brutus, who was a founder of the Roman Republic and traditionally one of its first consuls in 509 BCE, it is likely that the correct choice should be C) stir up the soldiers against the king. Brutus played a key role in the overthrow of the Roman monarchy, and his action of stirring up soldiers against the king would coincide with this narrative. In the absence of the specific lines from the text you're referring to, I can provide a general interpretation based on the options given. However, for the most accurate answer, it's recommended to refer directly to the text. Given the options: C) stir up the soldiers against the king This option seems to be a likely interpretation based on the context you've provided. Sending young men to Ardea to "stir up the soldiers against the king" aligns with a strategic or political move in the narrative. Please verify with the actual lines from the text to ensure accuracy.
