Question

read the excerpt from act 3, scene 1, of julius caesar antony. o mighty caesar! dost thou lie so low? are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, shrunk to this little measure? fare thee well — i know not, gentlemen, what you intend— who else must be let blood, who else is rank. if i myself, there is no hour so fit as caesar’s death hour, nor no instrument of half that worth as those your swords, made rich with the most noble blood of all this world. i do beseech ye, if you bear me hard, now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, fulfil your pleasure. live a thousand years, i shall not find myself so apt to die no place will please me so, no mean of death, as here by caesar, and by you cut off, the choice and master spirits of this age which quotations support the central idea that if antony were to be killed, he would be honored to die now, after caesar? select three options. □ \o mighty caesar! dost thou lie so low? / are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, / shrunk to this little measure?\ □ \i know not, gentlemen, what you intend— / who else must be let blood, who else is rank.\ □ \if i myself, there is no hour so fit / as caesar’s death hour, nor no instrument / of half that worth as those your swords\ □ \live a thousand years, / i shall not find myself so apt to die.\ □
o place will please me so, no mean of death, / as here by caesar, and by you cut off\

Explanation:

1. The third quotation states there is no better time to die than right after Caesar, using his death hour as the ideal moment, and no better weapon than the swords that killed Caesar. This directly supports the idea Antony would be honored to die now after Caesar.
2. The fourth quotation says even if he lives a thousand years, he will never find a time when he is more ready to die, reinforcing that this moment (right after Caesar) is his preferred time to die.
3. The fifth quotation explicitly states no death place or method is better than being killed here, next to Caesar, by the same men who killed him, which aligns with the central idea of being honored to die now after Caesar.

Answer:

• "If I myself, there is no hour so fit / As Caesar's death hour, nor no instrument / Of half that worth as those your swords"
• "Live a thousand years, / I shall not find myself so apt to die."
• "No place will please me so, no mean of death, / As here by Caesar, and by you cut off"
