Answer:
The statement that best describes how the pipe player influenced Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon is:
"Take we the course which the signs of the gods and the false dealing of our foes point out. The die is cast.”
Explanation:
Crossing the Rubicon was historically symbolic. While it violated an ancient Roman tradition and decree that forbade any provincial governor from crossing the small river which separated Italy from France (or more specifically the province of the Gaul), it afforded Caesar the chance he had strategized and waited for to become a Roman maximum ruler and conqueror. So, Julius Caesar seizing the moment provided by the example of the god-like human who suddenly appeared before him playing a flute, crossed the Rubicon on January 10-11, 49 B.C. This marked a point of no-return to normalcy. So, following the footsteps of the god, i.e. the figure who crossed the stream with his war-like songs, Caesar decided ultimately to violate the orders of the Roman Senate because he strongly believed that the gods had given him the go-ahead to cross the Rubicon and make war on Rome. The rest, as they say, is history. And the die is always cast when someone decides to cross the Rubicon.
A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that cannot stand by itself because there is a subject and/or a main verb missing. Unless they are used to convey a certain style, sentence fragments should be avoided because they are gramatically incorrect. <u>Examples of sentence fragments are "swam by the river" or "Throughout the novel, the author"</u>. On the other hand, a run-on sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses that have been connected in an improper way.<u> Examples of run-on sentences are "My sister is sick we are not going to the beach" "I studied for the test I arrived late"</u>.
