The theme of this short fable is to always be prepared. In the tale, the Grasshopper asks for help but the ants won't help because they know he should have prepared for winter instead of singing all summer. Being prepared is what the story is about especially when the ants tell the Grasshopper to 'spend the winter dancing' instead of helping him.
Answer:
the action of explaining the meaning of something
Explanation:
The correct answer is, "Mark Antony repeats that line to discredit Brutus by giving examples that prove that Caesar was not ambitious."
Anthony uses irony to point out that Caesar was not ambitious, despite Brutus saying he was. To better explain the excerpt, I summarized it in three parts:
- Anthony states, "Brutus says Caesar was ambitious."
- Anthony states that Brutus is an honorable man.
- Anthony states reasons why Caesar was not ambitious, which contradicts the two previous statements.
