Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct answer. Caesar said to me 'Darest thou, Cassius, now
Leap in with me into this angry
flood,
And swim to yonder point?' Upon the word,
Accoutred as I was, I plunged in
And bade him follow; so indeed he did.
The torrent roar'd, and we did buffet it
With lusty SINEWS, throwing it aside
And stemming it with hearts of controversy;
But ere we could arrive the point proposed,
Caesar cried 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink!'
The word in bold means
• rushing water
dressed in uniform
Greek mythology
muscle strength
