Read the excerpt from Act III of Julius Caesar.

(The scene continues, as Caesar enters with Mark Antony, followed by the nervous conspirators. A crowd of five or six people arrives to give Caesar scrolls or petitions as he walks along. It is his morning mail. All are watched by Artemidorus and the strange Soothsayer, who has put himself in Caesar's path.)

Announcer 2: It is now the fatal fifteenth day of March, the ides of March.

Caesar: (To the Soothsayer, as a scornful joke) The ides of March are come. (He laughs lightly.)

Soothsayer: (Raising his hands to the skies in warning.) Ay, Caesar, but not gone. (Caesar frowns.)

Artemidorus: (Pushing the Soothsayer to one side, he shouts.) Hail, Caesar! (He puts his scroll into Caesar's hands.) Read this schedule.

Decius: (Putting another scroll into Caesar's hands) Trebonius doth desire you to read his suit.

Artemidorus: 0 Caesar, read mine first. (He shrieks with fear.) Read it instantly.

Caesar: (Frowning) What, is the fellow mad? (As Decius pushes Artemidorus away, Caesar goes to the center of the stage, close to Pompey's statue.)

Cassius: (Nervously to Gasca, who is to stab Caesar first.) Casca, be sudden, for we fear prevention.

Brutus: (Calming Cassius) Cassius, be constant.

Why does Artemidorus push aside the Soothsayer in Act III ?

He thinks that the Soothsayer is one of the men who is planning to murder Caesar.

He believes that the Soothsayer is a fool who does not have the ability to predict future events.

He is rushing to get to Caesar so that he can fight off the conspirators and save Caesar.

He wants to reach Caesar before the conspirators do so that he can warn Caesar of their plan.

Read the passage from "marriage is a private affair" by chinua achebe. "i shall not call in a native doctor.” nnaemeka’s father was known to be obstinately ahead of his more superstitious neighbours in these matters. "i will not be another mrs. ochuba. if my son wants to kill himself let him do it with his own hands. it is not for me to him.” "but it was her fault,” said madubogwu. "she ought to have gone to an honest herbalist. she was a clever woman, nevertheless.” "she was a wicked murderess,” said jonathan who rarely argued with his neighbours because, he often said, they were incapable of reasoning. "the medicine was prepared for her husband, it was his name they called in its preparation and i am sure it would have been perfectly beneficial to him. it was wicked to put it into the herbalist’s food, and say you were only trying it out.” what are the benefits of analyzing this passage from more than one perspective? select two options. analyzing the passage from a historical perspective would be beneficial because the analysis would focus on times and places rather than people and emotions. analyzing the passage from a feminist perspective would likely provide insights on how a woman like mrs. ochuba would be treated in the ibo culture of that time. analyzing the passage from a feminist perspective would likely provide insights on how ibo women are morally superior to ibo men. analyzing the passage from a historical perspective would likely provide insights on how ibo people of the time viewed native medicine. analyzing the passage from a feminist perspective is not possible in this case because the author, chinua achebe, is male.
