Answer:

C. The dentist realizes his power over the mayor in this situation.

Explanation:

The given excerpt is from the story <em>One of These Days</em> written by  Gabriel García Márquez. The main character, the dentist, gets a visit from the mayor. At first, he doesn't want to admit him, but the mayor threatens to shoot him. He lets him in and extracts an abscessed tooth without anesthesia, telling him that he will <em>pay for twenty of (their) dead men</em>. It's apparent that the mayor has the most power in the city, threatens to shoot people, and shoots them sometimes as he likes. But in this scenario, it's the dentist who has the power, and he displays it without fear. He caused him pain and began ordering him around. The dentist knows that the mayor is a terrible person and probably does enjoy watching him cry, but the display of power is what is most important.

Thus, the correct option is C.

34kurt

<u>Answer</u>:

The effect that Casca’s response has on Cassius is that Cassius tries to get Brutus to join them. The correct answer over here is Option B.

<u>Explanation</u>:

In this passage of William Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,” Casca clearly states to Cassius that he is not a smiling, two-faced tattletale and wants to join hands with him in whatever he’s planning.

He also promises that he will go as far as any one of them. As soon as he makes this statement, Cassius reveals about the meeting at night to discuss the steps of an honourable but dangerous mission.
