Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Casca's line is a defiant declaration of his commitment to the conspiracy against Caesar, framing Caesar as the "monstrous" force (like the storm) threatening Rome. When Cassius asks him about a man as monstrous as the storm, Casca refers to Caesar, showing he is ready to go as far as needed to oppose him.

Answer:

a. Cassius asks Casca if he knows a man as monstrous as the portentous storm battering Rome that night. Casca replies by asking if he means Caesar.
