Hello. You forgot to show the answer options. The options are:

It is used as a public expression of praise toward Brutus.

it is used as a negative and ironic word to describe Brutus

It loses its power because of Antony's repeated use of it.

It is used with ambitious to change the connotation of ambitious

Answer:

it is used as a negative and ironic word to describe Brutus

Step-by-step explanation:

When Antony uses the word "honorable" in his speech, he intends to use it respectfully in relation to brutus, but charged with irony and debauchery, emphasizing a negative tone that can affect all conspirators, especially Brutus. He uses that word to show how hypocritical Brutus is, wearing a mask of honor, while betraying the one who trusted him most, Cesar.

This question is about "The Tragedie of Julius Caesar" written by Shakespeare, where Julio Cesar's tragedy as a ruler and the betrayal that led to his death are addressed.
