Which statement best describes the meaning of the imagery in the line "It is the bright day that brings forth the adder”? (An adder is a snake.) The sun shines on Caesar, but he must watch his steps. Brutus will kill Caesar with a bite of stinging fangs. Evil can come from good and cause much harm. Some animals cannot be trusted, no matter what.

cooksd2023:

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1. BRUTUS. It must be by his death: and for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him But for the general. He would be crowned: How that might change his nature, there’s the question. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder,5 And that craves wary walking. Crown him that, And then I grant we put a sting in him That at his will he may do danger with. Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar . . .

Okay so seems like the line they want you to interpret is a positive connotation. By looking at the choices, what do you think can be eliminated in this case.

cooksd2023:

oh and im on a time schedule this study guide has to be done in 2 hours in 31 min counting down

cooksd2023:

justus:

Now back to the question, I was telling you that the answer will have to be in positive connotation. Means it will shouldn't be negative so we can eliminate B but we can keep A as a choice.

justus:

Do you think it should be A or D?

justus:

Look carefully.

cooksd2023:

i kn that but bc dc don't make since

cooksd2023:

i mean maybe

justus:

Which option do you think has a positive connotation, A or D?

cooksd2023:

d

justus:

No, it's actually the first option. The sun shines on Caesar, but he must watch his steps. This interprets the meaning of the line they used in the question. It's a positive connotation.

cooksd2023:

ohh i would have never got it

cooksd2023:

thx

justus:
