Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the excerpt, Brutus says "I know my hour is come" and "It is more worthy to leap in ourselves Than tarry till they push us". This implies he intends to take his own life rather than be pushed by enemies. The other options: replacing Caesar is not supported, surrendering is contradicted by his desire to act, and being haunted is less supported than the self - death prediction.

Answer:

B. Brutus will take his own life.
