The correct answer is D). In sentence, the underlined word, which is "down", is a preposition.

<u>In sentence D. </u>("Place the refuse down the garbage chute"),<u> "down" is a preposition because it is followed by a noun ("the garbage chute")</u>. On the other hand, "down" in sentence A. is not a preposition since it is not followed by a noun. Moreover, although "outside" can be a preposition, in sentences B. and C. "outside" is an adverb because it is not followed by a noun.

Answer:

Antony wants to make the people angry by manipulating the words of Brutus and favoring Caesar.

Explanation:

In the excerpt of Antony's speech above, he clearly does not agree with Brutus' description of Caesar as an ambitious person. The rhetorical questions he asked and the answers to them show clearly that Caesar was not ambitious. Surely, a person who wept with the poor and three times rejected kingly crown was in no way an ambitious person.

While Brutus castigated Caesar in his speech, Antony helped the people see his good side. When he later showed the crowd the will left by Caesar where every citizen had a share in Caesar's wealth, the people then clearly understood that Brutus and Cassius were the traitors.
