Question

Read the excerpt from act 4, scene 1, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.

[ANTONY.] And now, Octavius, Listen great things—Brutus and Cassius Are levying powers. We must straight make head. Therefore let our alliance be combined, Our best friends made, our means stretched, And let us presently go sit in council, How covert matters may be best disclosed, And open perils surest answerèd.
OCTAVIUS. Let us do so: for we are at the stake, And bayed about with many enemies; And some that smile have in their hearts, I fear, Millions of mischiefs.

Which correctly reflects a conflict of character vs character?
A) The weather has been filled with lightning and wind making travel difficult.
B) Antony and Octavius must join forces to win in battle against the combined forces of Brutus and Cassius.
C) Ocatvius is doubting his own abilities to be equal to Antony in his leadership.
D) Cassius and Octavius have both worked to turn society against the cause of the other.

Answer 1

B. Antony and Octavius must join forces to win in battle against the combined forces of Brutus and Cassius.

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Step-by-step explanation:

When Antony says "Brutus and Cassius are levying powers," this tells us that Brutus and Cassius have joined forces. He also says "Therefore let our alliance be combined," which means that he wants Octavius and himself to combine forces against Brutus and Cassius. This is a good example of character vs character because in this scene, characters are going against other characters. A is wrong because it is an example of character vs nature, as the description of weather says so. C is wrong because Octavius actually is willing to rule with Antony against Brutus and Cassius. Honestly, I don't know what D means, but it doesn't sound right. Society is not mentioned in this passage. It is also wrong on Edge.

Here's a photo of Edge incase you're doubtful.
