The answer to the first question is D) and the answer to the second question is A)
Answer:
A) Brutus’s decision contributes to a rising action.
Explanation:
In the exposition of the play, Brutus is displayed as a good man and a close friend of Caesar. This scene tells us that he might not be after all or that this decision that he makes will result in catastrophe. Brutus's decision to kill Caesar will later contribute to the rising action: killing Caesar.
Here's why the other answers are incorrect:
B) Brutus's decision does not create the climax because we are not at the highest point of tension yet; at this point all we know is Brutus's reasons to later kill Caesar and so we know we are not yet at the highest point of tension, because that will happen either during or after Caesar's death. So B is incorrect.
C) This scene is early on in the play, so it doesn't provide the resolution; C is incorrect.
D) This scene contributes more to the rising action than the exposition because it is a plot event that leads to the climax and directly affects everything that happens subsequently in the play.
