Question

When was Julius Caesar explicitly understood as an assault on McCarthy?

a) In 44 BC
b) In 1950 AD
c) In 1865 AD
d) In 1963 AD

Answer 1

The correct answer is option b) In 1950 AD.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 44 BCE, Julius Caesar was assassinated by a conspiracy led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. This event is not explicitly understood as an assault on McCarthy because McCarthy's involvement in American politics did not occur until the 1950s.

McCarthy's rise to prominence and his controversial accusations of Communist infiltration in the US government took place during the Cold War era, specifically from 1950 onward.

Therefore, option b) In 1950 AD is the most accurate answer in relation to McCarthy's influence.
