Which statement best compares the two monologues? Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points. Brutus' use of ambitious is positive, whereas Antony's is negative. Both Brutus and Antony describe Caesar's weaknesses. Antony addresses the crowd directly, whereas Brutus does not.

Answer 1

Answer:

Its A that's the best choice

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

Explanation:

The following are the reasons why the other three alternatives are incorrect:

• 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.
