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.

What does an argument relies on?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

An argument relies on a comparison of two things

Explanation:

Many arguments rely on an analogy between two or more objects, ideas, or situations. If the two things that are being compared aren’t really alike in the relevant respects, the analogy is a weak one, and the argument that relies on it commits the fallacy of weak analogy.

Analogy: a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

Please Help Me Right Now​

1. It’s impossible to go out right now without seeing people in masks.

2. Although masks can be rather unpleasant, they really help everyone around me when in stores, schools, and almost everywhere else.

3. Having an interview online could be one of the most strange things to considering it’s the first time you’ve seen most people’s whole face.

4. Sometimes when people pull their masks down they disappoint me because they’re either not protected or they don’t look how i thought they would (LOL SORRY)

5. A lot of people disagree with some decisions on how many people should be allowed in certain establishments.

6. This will certainly be an unforgettable time of masks, quarantines, and utter chaos for us all.

really hope this is what you wanted !!
