Read the excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. CAESAR:
Doth not Brutus bootless kneel?
CASCA:
Speak, hands, for me!
[Casca stabs Caesar in the neck. Caesar catches hold of his arm. He is then stabbed by several other Conspirators, and at last by Marcus Brutus.]
CAESAR:
Et tu, Brute?—Then fall, Caesar!
[Dies. The Senators and People retire in confusion.]

Which connection could a reader best make to the text?

This reminds me of reading about Caesar’s assassination in history class.
This reminds me of the biography I read about William Shakespeare.
This reminds me of a book I read about political conspiracy theories.
This reminds me of reading about Caesar’s early career in the army.

Read the following excerpt from patrick henry's march 23, 1775, speech: if we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending-if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained- we must fight! which statement best explains how patrick henry uses parallelism in the passage to influence the audience? a. henry carefully lists the principles that all the colonists follow, principles that their british rulers do not share. b. the repetition of the word "fight" is meant to stir up the listeners' violent hatred of the british. ) c. by constantly referring to "we," henry makes it obvious that both he and the audience must sue for peace together. o d. repeating the words "if we" emphasizes the number of values that henry and the audience have in common.
