Question

Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct answer.

He had a fever when he was in Spain,
And when the fit was on him, I did mark
How he did shake: 'tis true, this god did shake;
His coward lips did from their colour fly,
And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world
Did lose his luster: I did hear him groan:
Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the Romans
Mark him and write his speeches in their books,
Alas, it cried 'Give me some drink, Titinius,'
As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze me

Answer 1

A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.

Answer 5

Cassius, who is speaking the lines, is one of the conspirators against Caesar. So you can rule out "great man" and "hard worker". Similarly, "liar" can be ruled out because Caesar is not presented as saying anything which is untrue. The word "coward" makes you think that "fearful person" is what Cassius thought. However, his words are merely the typical prejudices people had (have?) against certain illnesses. Caesar had health problems, possibly migraine headaches, epilepsy and/or the aftermath of malaria.
