and stemming it with hearts of controversy.

which senses does this passage appeal to?
sight and sound
what does the imagery in the passage suggest about caesar?
he is quick to anger.
he is daring but weak.
he has incredible strength.

Explanation:

In the passage, Caesar initially dares to leap into the angry flood (showing daring), but later cries for help ("Help me, Cassius, or I sink!") when struggling against the torrent, indicating he is weak in the face of the flood's power. The other options don't fit: there's no indication he's quick to anger, and his cry for help shows he doesn't have incredible strength.

Answer:

He is daring but weak.
