Which summary of the passage is the best? Brutus says he has no personal reason to kill Caesar, but wants to anyway. Brutus decides that, for the good of the people, Caesar must be killed. If they crowned Caesar, they would be giving him power, with which he could do damage. Brutus compares Caesar to a snake and says that they need to tread carefully around him. Brutus declares that Caesar must die, though he has nothing personal against him. He worries about how Caesar would change if he were crowned and explains that evil comes from good—much like dangerous snakes can come out on sunny days, when everyone needs to watch where they step. He says that Caesar may do damage if he is crowned.

It would have been easier if you edited the question and wrote the letters besides them.

justus:

Alright, thanks for that. A is actually incorrect.

justus:

So, what are you thinking?

cooksd2023:

wym

justus:

It isn't A as you thought it was.

cooksd2023:

oh mb

cooksd2023:

well u think maybe its d

justus:

That is correct. It's obvious that there is no personal motive for Brutus to kill Caesar. But he thinks that it might influence him and give him the strength and power to do harm when Caesar gets the crown.
