Hey I have read this a while ago so unfortunately I cannot give you detailed textual evidences. However I can give you some original written ideas.
Basically Brutus uses pure logic in his speech in order to modify his act of murdering his friend. He does take blame and also proves his nobility by saying (or repeating) that he loved Caesar. His speech concludes to Brutus not having sufficient impact on his listeners (at least less than that of Antony). Brutus can indeed be classified as a noble man, as he leaves the place and allows Antony to have his regards paid towards Julius Caesar.
Antony however makes use of numerous emotional gestures, along with expressions in order to awaken the attention of wrong done towards Caesar. He initiates his speech with saying that he can barely talk due to his grief. He further supports his arguments by saying that Caesar was innocent and a noble and well mannered man as well.
As you read the passage, which of these answers makes sense when it comes to Elmer? Looking through it, I see that Elmer was a child at the time of the story and was on an adventure. So, to say he was lazy does not make sense. Since he was a child looking for a dragon, it is unlikely that bravery was a part of this scenario. That leaves foolish or lost. He as stood there for awhile watching the lion, so I would say that foolish is the best answer.
