Question

read the excerpt from julius caesar act 2 scene 1. brutus. it must be by his death: and for my part i know no personal cause to spurn at him but for the general. he would be crowned: how that might change his nature, theres the question. it is the bright day that brings forth the adder, and that craves wary walking. crown him that, and then i grant we put a sting in him that at his will he may do danger with. th abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power. and to speak truth of caesar... which statement best describes the meaning of the imagery in the line it is the bright day that brings forth the adder? (an adder is a snake.) the sun shines on caesar, but he must watch his steps around others. brutus will kill caesar with a bite of stinging fangs. the warm praise of the people can cause caesar to be more powerful and dangerous. some animals cannot be trusted, no matter what.

Explanation:

The "bright day" represents the public acclaim and power - like a position of being crowned - that Caesar may receive. The "adder" symbolizes the dangerous nature that may emerge in Caesar when he has too much power. Just as a snake can be dangerous, Caesar with power may become a threat.

Answer:

The warm praise of the people can cause Caesar to be more powerful and dangerous.
