Answer:

B. Ad hominem.

Explanation:

Ad hominem (against the man, as it would translate literally) is an argumentative fallacy in which an opponent to a claim focuses not on the logical or argumentative contents of the claim but rather goes after the speaker of the claim, addressing a personal, ethnical, or societal factor concerning the speaker but not the argument.

<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.
