Read the excerpt from Act III of Julius Caesar.
Announcer 1: The crowd, which loved Pompey and then Caesar and now Brutus, waits to hear Antony speak.
Citizen 1: (With conviction) This Caesar was a tyrant.
Citizen 3: Nay, that's certain. We are blessed that Rome is rid of him.
Citizen 2: Peace, (He sees Antony trying to quiet them.) let us hear what Antony can say.
Announcer 2: Antony begins by stating he will only bury his friend, not say how good he was.
Antony: (Sadly) Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious. (He sighs.) If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it.
(He sighs again, and the citizens begin to feel uncertain about the "if'') He was my friend, faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man. (With grief) When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept! (Sarcastically) Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man.
Announcer 1: Antony then makes his main point - the crowd saw Caesar refuse the crown three times.
Antony: You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition? (The citizens shake their heads.) Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and sure, he is an honorable man. (By now the citizens exchange worried looks, as the facts do not make sense.)
(Pointing to Caesar's corpse) You all did love him once, not without cause. (He wipes tears from his face.) Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me. (He covers his face with his robe.)
Citizen 1: (Unhappily) Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.
Citizen 2: (Shocked) Caesar has had great wrong.
Citizen 4: Marked ye his words? He would not take the crown, therefore, 'tis certain he was not ambitious. (The others agree.)
How does Antony's speech change the viewpoint of the citizens?
They realize that Caesar should not have been murdered and Brutus misled them.
They understand that Brutus was telling the truth about Caesar's ambition.
Antony reminds them that Brutus is a good person, and only wants what is best for Rome.
Their love for Caesar is gone, and they are convinced that Antony should be the next emperor.
Answer:
Brutus joins the men in the conspiracy to kill Caesar but discourages them from killing Antony as well.
Explanation: Hi my name is Ace. I took the test and I made a 80% on it and I got that question right so I'm glad I could help if anything comes up please let me know!!!

What type of climate is experienced by cities that are close to large bodies of water as compared to inland cities at the same latitude?
Also depending on the temperature, water can influence area population, which isn't especially relevant in means of simple climate.
Large bodies of water heat and cool more slowly than land, which in simple terms, means that the area stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than the inland cities.
The available water can also create a form of humidity with mass evaporation, which, again, is also influenced by how water cools and heats slower than land.
Hope this helped!

Read the excerpt below, then answer the question.
The Tinker's Willow
Edward W. Frentz
One day, when my Grandfather Gifford was about seven years old, he looked across the road to his father's blacksmith shop, and seeing someone sitting on the bench by the door, went over to learn who it was.
He found a little old man, with thick, bushy eyebrows and bright blue eyes. His clothes were made all of leather, which creaked and rattled when he moved. By his side was a partly open pack, in which grandfather could see curious tools and sheets of shiny tin. By that he knew that the man was the traveling tinker, who came once or twice a year to mend leaky pans and pails, and of whom he had heard his mother speak.
The old man was eating his luncheon - a slice or two of bread, a bit of cold meat, and a cold potato; and because it seemed so poor a luncheon, grandfather went back to the house and brought two big apples from the cellar. The old man thanked him and ate the apples. Then he got up, brushed the bread crumbs from his leather breeches, and taking a little tin dipper from his pack, went down to the brook for a drink of water. When he had had his fill, he came back to the bench and sat down.
Which of the following describes the characters in this excerpt?
a young boy and his father the blacksmith
a blacksmith
an old tinker
a young boy and an old tinker
Answer:

What tone was was the author illustrating in Maria Isabel's prayer for Enrique - "God…grant me one wish. Get Mexican immigration authorities to catch Enrique and deport him back to Honduras. Send him back to me"
Answer:
The excerpt has a pleading tone.
Explanation:
In literature, tone is a very important element in the transmission of the message and the meaning of a text. This is because the message is directly linked to the feeling that the text wishes to convey and the tone is the representation of the emotion or feeling that the author wishes to present during the reading of the text.
In the excerpt shown above, we can see that there is a pleading tone, since the narrator begs God to grant her wish that Enrique be deported and return to the place where she is.
