Answer:
The correct answer is Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.
Explanation:
<em>The following are the reasons why the other three alternatives are incorrect:</em>
- While both Brutus and Antony have the word ambitious as a key word of their speeches, they also use the word in the same meaning (i.e., greedy for power).
- None of the two speakers focuses only in Caesar's weaknesses. Actually, both tend to emphasize his strong points more.
- Both speakers speak directly to the crowd, and both their speeches are in front of a crowd, even in theatrical renditions.
The most dominant part of both of their speeches are rhetorical questions. Brutus uses rhetorical questions to persuade the crowd into believing he killed Caesar for their own good, while Antony uses rhetorical questions to prove Caesar was not ambitious.

The features of Anglo-Saxon culture are the following:
- a society organized into warrior tribes: Anglo-Saxon people were divided into tribes, with each tribe having its own ruler, or king. If you only take a look at Beowulf, you will see that Hrothgar and Beowulf come from different tribes, however, both of them are Anglo-Saxons.
- an emphasis on gift-giving and hospitality: when an Anglo-Saxon warrior comes to visit another tribe/another person, it is important to bring them gifts to thank them for their hospitality. On the other hand, the person you are visiting has to do everything in their power to make you feel at home.
- a mixture of pagan and Christian traditions: at this time, Christianity hasn't yet taken control over Britain completely, so its tribes were usually pagan (believed in many gods). However, with Christianity spreading rapidly all over the island, Anglo-Saxons assimilated it into their own pagan religion..
