Your question is incomplete because it does not provide the complete instructions or the excerpt, which are the following:

Read the excerpt below from act 2.2 in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and complete the instruction that follows.

CAESAR:

Danger knows full well

That Caesar is more dangerous than he.

We are two lions littered in one day,

And I the elder and more terrible.

Answer:

c) Caesar personifies danger to create a metaphor comparing himself and it to brother lions: both noble and strong, with Caesar being stronger because he is the older of the two.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar," Caesar makes use of personification to describe himself as more dangerous than danger itself. As a result, he compares himself to two brother lions and claims that he represents the eldest, because he is stronger and is the most terrifying of the two.
