b Just as Cassius fears, Caesar will not come to the Capitol.
c The bad weather will make Caesar decide to stay at home.
d Decius strongly believes that he can get Caesar to go to the Capitol.
Answer:
The conclusion best supported by the excerpt is:
d. Decius strongly believes that he can get Caesar to go to the Capitol.
Explanation:
Decius is telling Cassius to not worry about Caesar not coming to the Capitol. Decius is confident that he can change Caesar's mind. He clearly has a way with words, being able to deceive and persuade. He gives an interesting example, saying that he flatters Caesar by telling him that he (Caesar) hates flatterers.

Answer:
Gold is usually alloyed in jewellery to give it more strength, and the term carat describes the amount of gold present (24 carats is pure gold). It is estimated that all the gold in the world, so far refined, could be placed in a single cube 60 ft. on a side. It is metallic, with a yellow colour when in a mass, but when finely divided it may be black, ruby, or purple.
