Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct answer.
He had a fever when he was in Spain,
And when the fit was on him, I did mark
How he did shake: ‘tis true, this god did shake;
His coward lips did from their colour fly,
And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world
Did lose his luster: I did hear him groan:
Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the Romans
Mark him and write his speeches in their books,
Alas, it cried ‘Give me some drink, Titinius,’
As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.
To what does Cassius compare Caesar in this speech?

A. a palm tree
B. a Roman
C. a little girl
D. a Spaniard

Respuesta :

a little girl or 'sick girl' to be exact. He was comparing him to a sick girl because Caesar suffered from mini strokes.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Cassius's indignation is caused by the fact that Caesar is considered a God among the Romans. Cassius wonders how it is possible for a god to shake or to be sick. Cassius claims to have been born as free as Caesar but without his luck. Cassius compares Caesar to a little sick girl who is defenseless against the adveristies of the world dependant on all the aid possible. Caesar's might is definitely being called into question.
