How does the interaction between Brutus and his servant Lucius develop the plot of act 4 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar? a. Bru
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The right answer is the A) Brutus asks Lucius if he cried out during his sleep to check if he imagined the ghost of Caesar.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this scene takes place almost at the end of Act IV. Lucius is playing the lute and singing for Brutus, and he falls asleep. Then the ghost of Caesar enters and announces Brutus that he will see him again in Philippi. When the ghost exits, Brutus asks Lucius to wake up, and he asks him if he cried out because he was dreaming, and if he saw anything, but Lucius says that he didn't, so he sends him back to sleep. Therefore, Brutus was just trying to check if he had imagined his vision or if it had been real.

uysha [10]

Answer:

B. harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.

Explanation:

Before Joseph Lister was inspired by Pasteur's germ theory to perform sterile operations, doctors harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.

This was because doctors didn't do enough to prevent the spread of bacteria through surgical equipment and in the end they ended up causing more problems for their patients than the help they gave.

Prior to Joseph Lister's sterilisation which was influenced by Pasteur's germ theory, surgeons were unhygienic and didn't wash their hands or change their clothing before surgery which made infections after surgery widespread.
