Thomas Jefferson had been interested in exploring the west well before the 1803 Louisiana Purchase from France. During the 1780's and 1790's, he championed a few failed attempts at such an exploration. Believing the United States needed to expand west to help ensure its survival and prosperity, he jumped at the chance to buy Louisiana from France’s Napoleon Bonaparte. Plans were immediately made to explore the new acquisition and establish American claims to the vast region, an area which effectively doubled the size of the United States. Aside from obvious political reasons, Jefferson, as a child of theEnlightenment<span> ,was an immensely inquisitive individual. The exploration would provide a wealth of information on everything from flora and fauna to geography to the inhabitants</span>

Answer:

a) Antony wants Caesar to forgive him for being nice to his conspirators.

c) Antony predicts that the land will be bloodied by men fighting men.

e) Antony expects Caesar's ghost to seek retribution for the wrongs done.

In the speech, Antony seeks <em>"pardon"</em> to the corpse of Caesar for being <em>"meek and gentle with these butchers"</em> who had murdered him. He prophesied that the land will be full of war, man fighting against the men who had done the murderous deed,

<em>"Domestic fury and fierce civil strife </em>

<em>Shall cumber all the parts of Italy; </em>

<em>Blood and destruction shall be so in use"</em>.

He also seeks retribution from Caesar's ghost for the wrongs that had been done to him. He invokes <em>"Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge [.....] hot from hell"</em>, will come and create havoc for the men responsible for his death.

Thus, the correct answers are options a), c) and e).
