Answer: The best summary of this monologue is A. Portia says that if Brutus were simply sick, he would do something to get better. As his wife and other half, she pleads with him to tell her what is on his mind. Then she inquires about the men who were sneaking around their house.
Explanation: This excerpt has been taken from Shakespeare's <em>Julius Caesar. </em>In the play, Brutus is one of the conspirators who plans to murder Caesar in order to save the people of Rome. In that way, before getting involved in the conspiracy, Brutus is described as an honorable man. However, he is also depicted as a victim of the manipulation of Antony, Cassius and the other conspirators, which leads him to hide the conspiracy from his wife Portia. In this excerpt,<u> Portia asks Brutus to stop excluding her and tries to convince his husband to tell her what is going on with him by saying that two married people should not have secrets. </u>
