Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 1, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the background information on the allusion it contains

.
Excerpt:

[FLAVIUS.] See whether their basest mettle be not moved.
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
Go you down that way towards the Capitol;
This way will I. Disrobe the images
If you do find them decked with ceremonies.

MARULLUS. May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal.

FLAVIUS. It is no matter; let no images
Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men,
And keep us all in servile fearfulness.

Background information:

In Rome, February 15 was Lupercalia, an annual festival celebrating the myth of the she-wolf that saved the lives of the infant twins Romulus and Remus. According to legend, the two boys became the founders of Rome. The festival is also said to have celebrated the god who protected flocks from hungry wolves.

Which statement best explains the meaning added by the allusion in this excerpt?

Alluding to the ancient festival of Lupercal explains why people are celebrating and decorating the streets.
The allusion to Lupercal provides an association with wolves, which intensifies the sense that violence is coming.
Since Lupercal is associated with the ancient gods, this allusion invokes the sense that fate governs human endeavors.
Lupercal alludes to an important patriotic festival, and celebrating Caesar on Lupercal indicates his high position in Rome.

Answer:

The answer is D) Lupercal alludes to an important patriotic festival, and celebrating Caesar on Lupercal indicates his high position in Rome.

Explanation:

Based on the background information you can see that Marullus refers to Lupercal, and is afraid. But Flavius tells him that this is not important and to make sure that none of the statues are decorated in tribute to Caesar. All this should be done to undermine Cezar, and take him down a peg.

List two manual labor jobs that were performed in the past that could contribute to the respiratory issues today
TEA [102]
The answers are construction and mining. Mining and construction both involve things where there's a lot of dust and this can cause respiratory issues because prolonged exposure clogs and ruins your lungs and can cause cancer. Mining and usage of fossil fuels like coal also destroys the air with carbon monoxide which also ruins the atmosphere and harms respiratory organs.
