Answer: The right answer is the A) Brutus asks Lucius if he cried out during his sleep to check if he imagined the ghost of Caesar.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this scene takes place almost at the end of Act IV. Lucius is playing the lute and singing for Brutus, and he falls asleep. Then the ghost of Caesar enters and announces Brutus that he will see him again in Philippi. When the ghost exits, Brutus asks Lucius to wake up, and he asks him if he cried out because he was dreaming, and if he saw anything, but Lucius says that he didn't, so he sends him back to sleep. Therefore, Brutus was just trying to check if he had imagined his vision or if it had been real.

Updike has carefully brought the meaning to the poem and to the character by naming him Flick, which means a quick and sudden movement.
Explanation:
'Ex-Basketball Player' is a poem written by John Updike. The poem is about a character named 'Flick Webb' who used to be basketball star in his high school but now serves as a gas station attendant.
<u>The poem brings the meaning that one should not remain the past glory of life and must move on</u>. Flick used to be a basketball star in his high school but after that moment of life gets over he is just 'Flick' who, now, should think of life ahead of him. But he remains stick to his past glory.
"Flick' means a <u>quick and sudden movement</u>. By naming the character 'Flick', Updike brings out the message that life goes on in a flick moment of time and thus one should remain prepared for it. But, in the poem, 'Flick' was not prepared for life ahead and remained a slave of past glory as an 'Ex-Basketball Player.' Because 'Flick' perceived that his glory will remain forever, he never learned other skills to help him for his future, that's why now he serves as a gas station attendant.
