BRUTUS. By your pardon;

Question

I will myself into the pulpit first,
And show the reason of our Caesar’s death.
What Antony shall speak I will protest
He speaks by leave and by permission;
And that we are contented Caesar shall
Have all true rites and lawful ceremonies,
It shall advantage more than do us wrong.

Which quotations support the central idea that Brutus thinks it will do no harm and may actually benefit the conspirators if they let Antony give the eulogy at Caesar’s funeral? Select two options.

“By your pardon;”
“What Antony shall speak I will protest / He speaks by leave and by permission;”
“And that we are contented Caesar shall / Have all true rites and lawful ceremonies”
“It shall advantage more than do us wrong.”
“And show the reason of our Caesar’s death”

Answer 1

The two quotations that support the central idea that Brutus thinks it will do no harm and may actually benefit the conspirators if they let Antony give the eulogy at Caesar’s funeral are:

1. “What Antony shall speak I will protest / He speaks by leave and by permission;”
2. “It shall advantage more than do us wrong.”

These quotations demonstrate Brutus’s belief that allowing Antony to speak will not harm their cause and may instead be beneficial.
