Explanation:

The passage shows Caesar's risky behavior of offering his throat to be cut when he saw the crowd's reaction to his refusal of the crown. This indicates his vulnerability to the people's actions, suggesting he could be killed by them. There is no indication he will turn over power, assassinate Casca, or die of illness.

Answer:

Caesar will be killed by his people.
