The Canterbury Cathedral is related to Thomas a Becket because Becket was murdered there. Henry II made Becket his chancellor and the two became close friends. When the position of Archbishop became vacant, Henry II made Thomas a Becket the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Henry II wanted to reduce the power of the Church and established the Constitutions of Clarendon which allowed the King to punish a cleric found guilty by the Church. Becket refused to sign the Constitutions of Clarendon and was found guilty of treason. He fled to France and was only allowed to return when the Pope threatened to excommunicate Henry II. Upon his return, Becket excommunicated three bishops who supported Henry. This enraged Henry and he ordered his knights to kill Becket. 

On December 29, 1170, Becket was murdered at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by four knights of King Henry II.

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. Antony calls the assassins "honourable men” but subtly turns the crowd against them.

Explanation:

At this point of Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar", Caesar has been betrayed and killed by his men. Mark Antony, who was loyal to Caesar, now pretends to be loyal to Brutus and Cassius, Caesar's assassins, to save his own life. However, at the funeral, he wittily shows the crowd that Brutus and Cassius are not good men. Even though he calls them "honourable", he does so ironically. The Roman people loved Caesar and very well knew his qualities. By emphasizing the fact that Brutus is trying to find some flaw to blame on Caesar, Antony shows the crowd that Brutus is against Caesar and should not be trusted. He then makes it clear that it is not just Brutus since "so are they all, all honourable men". Antony smartly conveys the very opposite of what his words are saying.
