Commander McKee checked the dials and switches in the shuttle cockpit and determined that they were functioning normally. He the

n tested the communications systems that connected his ship with the mission control headquarters. He checked the fuel gauges and saw that there was enough fuel for the months-long trip to Saturn. All of the other gauges and meters checked out normal, and the idling engines gave off a strong, reassuring hum. After a final glance around, McKee declared that the shuttle was finally ready for takeoff. He readied the brave astronauts under his command and the ground crew alertly awaiting the launch. The rocket took off and, racing through space, eventually arrived at Saturn, where Commander McKee and his assistants built the first successful human colony.

The correct answer is “-Anthony exposes Brutus's folly by showing how Caesar did not seek to be king.”

Indeed, although he uses ironic over repetition of the term “honorable” to describe Brutus and his accomplices, both the context and the excessive repetition indicate that the opposite effect is intended. However, this is more addressed to Brutus’ co-conspirators than to Brutus himself since Brutus did love Caesar since Caesar had been merciful and magnanimous to him. Furthermore, Anthony refers to Brutus, and only to him as “noble”, implying that the company he keeps is not very honorable. And that like “brutish beasts” they have misguided him since he sincerely acted for the good of Rome. And tragically, he has succumbed to such folly since he is “a man that has lost his reason”.
