The passage most supports the prediction that "Caesar will be killed by his people." In this excerpt, Casca describes how the common people react to Caesar, specifically mentioning that they clap and hiss according to his actions, much like an audience does with a performer. This mob mentality indicates the fickleness of public opinion, suggesting that Caesar's relationship with the people is precarious. Additionally, Casca's mention of Caesar offering his throat to be cut further implies an underlying tension and foreshadows the possibility of betrayal or violence against him.
CASCA. I know not what you mean by that, but I am sure265
Caesar fell down. If the tag-rag people did not
clap him and hiss him, according as he pleased and
displeased them, as they use to do the players in
the theatre, I am no true man.
BRUTUS. What said he when he came unto himself?270
CASCA. Marry, before he fell down, when he perceived the
common herd was glad he refused the crown, he
plucked me open his doublet and offered them his
throat to cut. An I had been a man of any
occupation, if I would not have taken him at a word,275
I would I might go to hell among the rogues. And so
he fell.
Which prediction about the plot does this passage most support?
Caesar will turn over his power to the people.
Caesar will assassinate Casca.
Caesar will die of a horrible illness.
