Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of Julius Caesar. [BRUTUS.] Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.
We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar,
And in the spirit of men there is no blood.
O, that we then could come by Caesar's spirit,
And not dismember Caesar!
Why is this passage an example of verbal irony?
Brutus wants to stand up to the spirit of Caesar.
Brutus is the one the priests call on to offer sacrifices to the gods.
O Brutus says he does not want to be seen as a butcher, but that is what the Romans will remember after he stabs
his friend
O Brutus and Caius do not believe in spirits or in the gods.

Brutus says he does not want to be seen as a butcher, but that is what the Romans will remember after he stabs  his friend.

Explanation:

Verbal irony is a figure of speech when one thing is said but the exact opposite happens. In other words, we can say verbal irony is when what is said and what is done are contrary to each other.

In the given excerpt from William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", Brutus' declaration of "let us be sacrificers, not butchers" is an example of verbal irony. This is because his expression is contrary to what he had done after "butchering" his friend Caesar.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

C. Brutus says he does not want to be seen as a butcher, but that is what the Romans will remember after he stabs  his friend.
