Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 2, of Julius Caesar. CASSIUS. To every new protester; if you know
That I do fawn on men and hug them hard
And after scandal them: or if you know
That I profess myself in banqueting
To all the rout: then hold me dangerous.
[Flourish, and shout]

Which statement best explains why Shakespeare has Cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such as flatter to describe his actions?

Fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain.

Fawn is a comparison to a deer and therefore creates a weak image.

Flatter is the more negative word, and Cassius wishes to be kind in his description.

Flatter is used throughout the play as a compliment, and Cassius would not brag about his own abilities.
