Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the impact of the storm, analyze Cassius's lines: he says the storm's "complexion" (nature) matches their "work" (the conspiracy against Caesar), which is "bloody, fiery, and most terrible." This suggests the storm reinforces his confidence in the conspiracy. Let's eliminate other options: the storm doesn't cause them to move up the plan (no mention of accelerating), it's not about mourning Pompey, and it doesn't prevent attendance (Cassius says others stay for him in Pompey’s Porch). So the storm makes Cassius more confident about his plan.
