Which sentence in the paragraph should be revised to reflect a formal style and objective tone?

In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the characters Brutus and Cassius express concerns about Caesar’s rule over Rome and eventually rebel against him. In fact, Cassius describes Caesar “Like a Colossus” and the people of Rome as “petty men” walking beneath him. In my opinion, this metaphor emphasizes Cassius’s obvious problem with Caesar. After the conspiracy against Caesar takes place, Brutus appeals to the Roman people by asking them “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” This question supports the idea that if they had not rebelled against Caesar, the Roman people would have lost their freedom.

Answer:

"in my opinion"

Step-by-step explanation:

this needs to be removed from the sentence. in order to write objectively and formally you need to remove your opinion from the writing and stick to presenting and explaining the facts.
