Answer 2

Answer:

C)  The mistakes men make are remembered after their deaths, but their good deeds more often die with them.

D)  If Caesar was power-hungry, it was a serious flaw, and he paid seriously for it.

Explanation:

1.  The legacy of men's errors outlives their good works. That Antony's statement is anti-Caesar. So he emphasized Caesar's flaws will endure. Caesar, he claimed, deserved to die. So he made it seem like he agreed with Caesar's fate. But he couldn't end his praise for Caesar's outstanding service to the Romans. But he quickly follows up with the idea that good activities are usually buried with their owners, and that Caesar's good deeds should be as well. His memory is now buried with him. It is feasible to support Brutus while praising Caesar's virtues. His goal was to acquire popular sympathy and confidence while promoting Caesar's interests.

2. Powerlust cost Caesar dearly. Affirming his allegiance to the conspirators. As so, he appears to share their views on Caesar, his desire for power, and Brutus' honorable character. The nobility adorns Brutus and co. Caesar's desire for power demonstrates that his agreement was not unconditional. But the conspirators won. Not content with portraying Caesar's pain, he claimed conspirators' failings were his fault. Damit the public backs Caesar without the conspirators' knowledge. Anger towards Caesar's burdeners rises.
