Answer 1

In Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar,' Mark Antony mourns Caesar's death and gives a speech to turn public sentiment against the conspirators.The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context provided by the still, which is likely a reference to a scene from the 1970 film adaptation of Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, the correct answer is a) Mark Antony is mourning Caesar's death. In the famous play, Mark Antony is a devoted follower and friend of Julius Caesar, and after Caesar's assassination, he gives a powerful speech that manipulates the public's sentiment against the conspirators. This speech is a turning point in the play, revealing Antony's loyalty to Caesar as well as his political acumen and oratory skills. During the speech, Mark Antony is neither celebrating a victory, delivering a speech as Caesar, nor conspiring with Brutus, but is instead stirring the public against the assassination to avenge Caesar's death.
