Answer: C. Brutus must decide whether to help in the plot to kill Caesar.
In this excerpt, Brutus is deciding whether to help in the plot to kill Caesar. On the one hand, Brutus argues that he likes Caesar, and that he believes him to be competent and responsible. He has never seen him be unreasonable. On the other hand, Caesar wants more power, and this power could corrupt him and turn him into a tyrant. He concludes that it is better to get rid of Caesar before he gets more power and begins to cause harm to Rome.
Answer:
The poem is about a boy by the name of Steven who became agitated and eventually cried from losing a match in Fortnite. First, he threw his controller at his parent's flat screen TV, obliterating it with full force. Then he screamed erratically at his parents for hindering his concentration when they had not done so. A demon began spawning out of Steven as his screaming elevated to a banshee level and his face reddened. In the midst of rage, he picked up his cat and slammed it on the floor, breaking its neck. He began crying and laughing simultaneously. The parents witnessed this and called the police on him. When they arrived, Steven was arrested without much interrogation. He was put in juvenile detention with multiple pending charges and while he was locked up, his parents decided to disown him. Steven no longer had a home. When he gained knowledge of this, his inner demon formed again and he attacked a guard recklessly. Had the other guards not come in time, he would have been dead. Steven was transferred to a state prison with felony charges and is currently serving 50 years with no bail.
