ANSWER is option D.
Because if you think about it, the Atlantic is a vast distance, but a puddle really isnt. So comparing such a large distance (the Atlantic) to such a small one (puddle) is understatement.

1. What, according to Cassius, is<br> ironic about Caesar styling himself a<br> "god"?

amm1812

Answer:

Cassius calls Caesar a god while describing how weak he was. Since we know that Caesar is not a god and that Cassius does not see Caesar as a god, it is a prime example of verbal irony. Cassius says one thing while we know something else to be true. Cassius's irony emphasizes the fact that Cesar was not a god.
