Answer:

The quote said by Nick means that Daisy will not leave Tom for Jay, thus making it evident that jay Gatsby will be left again.

This quote is important as it gave a foreshadowing of what Jay will be getting, his illusion of getting back with Daisy being shattered and he will be left alone again.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the courage and commitment of a man named Jay Gatsby in his aim of attaining his previous lover Daisy even though sh had already been married to Tom Buchanan. the story also shows the different lives that the wealthy people like Tom and Daisy lead in comparison to Nick and Gatsby.

In Chapter 8, Nick says that <em>"[Gatsby] couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope and I couldn’t bear to shake him free."</em> This statement shows his concern for his neighbor who seem to still think that he has a chance to get Daisy but which was an unlikely scenario as Nick already knows his cousin Daisy will not leave Tom for Jay. The statement means that Jay will be unsuccessful in his aim of getting Daisy.

This statement is also important as it acts as the final 'nail in the coffin' or Gatsby as it is the scene where he will be again dejected and left alone, unsuccessful in his illusion of regaining what he had previously lost.

Explanation:

In Julius Caesar, Cassius was able to convince Brutus to join in the plan to eliminate Caesar even as Brutus was already wondering if Caesar would be swayed by power and seek to subjugate lesser people, he compared Caesar to a serpent "which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous”; thus, he determines to “kill him in the shell”.

Cassius and other conspirators,Casca, Decius, Cinna, Metellus, and Trebonius visit Brutus in his home in Act II, Scene I and talk about how to eliminate Caesar. Cassius suggest they take an oath but Brutus declines, saying their cause is stronger than any oath. The group become worried that Caesar may not come out because of the words of an augur that foresaw the event and warned Caesar but Decius assures them that he can convince Caesar to make an appearance at the Capitol by flattering him about his bravery.

Cassius is worried about Antony and suggests he is also eliminated by Brutus disagrees by saying it would make things too bloody.
