[flavius.] see whether their basest mettle be not moved.60
they vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
go you down that way towards the capitol;
this way will i. disrobe the images,
if you do find them decked with ceremonies.

marullus. may we do so? 65
you know it is the feast of lupercal.

flavius. it is no matter; let no images
be hung with caesar’s trophies. i’ll about,
and drive away the vulgar from the streets:
so do you too, where you perceive them thick.

caesar will soon be stripped of his position of power.
caesar’s basest self will soon be exposed to everybody.
caesar was the least celebrated of all rome’s leaders.

Caesar will soon be stripped of his position of power.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Caesar's friend Brutus is convinced to participate in a plot against Caesar, which later leads to Caesar's death.

In Act I, Scene I, Marullus and Flavius, the tribunes of Rome, break up a celebration of Caesar's return from war. They discuss undressing the statues decorated in Caesar's honor, which serves as an early indicator that there is a plot against Caesar and that he will probably lose his power.

Caesar will soon be stripped of his position of power.

These images suggest that Caesar will soon be stripped of his position of power. This is supported by the prophecy of the soothsayer, who warns Caesar to be careful. We know this is indeed what is going to happen, as Caesar is about to be murdered by a conspiracy of senators.

The answer is B. on Edge.

Explanation:

The images of disrobing statues of Caesar and taking down his trophies suggests that Caesar will soon be stripped of his position of power.

Option B

Explanation:

‘The Tragedy of Julius Caesar’ is a play written by William Shakespeare which is based on the true events. This play is about the tragic events that took place in Julius Caesar’s life.

It so happens that Brutus and Cassius decides to murder Caesar for preventing him to become a dictator of Rome. Flavus is another character from the play who removed the diadem which was placed on the statue of Caesar.

And he was the one who ordered to take down all the trophies and disrobe the statue of Caesar. This act was an indication that Caesar will soon be stripped of his position of power.

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.
