answered: amorenextdoor

The correct answer is: D) Ceasar gained popularity and political influence but also gained enemis during his life.

This excerpt clearly shows this as we can see both sides. In one side Ceasar's popularity and political influence is shown. His skills and charisma made him a well known leader between the elite and the common people of that era.

On the other hand, later in the paragraph the word "enemies" is shown, meaning he was not surrounded only by good intentions. One of this enemies is named in the text, Cicero, he realized that Ceasar hospitality and manners were not desinterested, they were political maneuvers to gain more power and control.

We can see that the point of the text is to describe both the followers and the enemies that Ceasar gained.

Option A is incorrect as the paragraph states: "...much good will from the common people for the friendliness of his manners" showing they liked him.

Option B is proven wrong through the text as his actions were directly related to his political career.

And option C is wrong because Cicero is labeled as one of his first enemies as he discovered his true intentions.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
