According to Antony, Caesar's will bequeathed to each citizen of Rome

• A. 100 drachmas
• B. 50 drachmas
• C. 200 drachmas
• D. 75 drachmas

Answer: (D)

Antony’s move relies on a precise, dramatic detail: Caesar left a bequest to every citizen. That disclosure reframes Caesar’s legacy from Brutus’s accusation of ambition into a sign of generosity toward the common people, giving Antony powerful rhetorical leverage to sway the crowd. The exact sum per citizen is what Antony quotes in the speech, and this is the element that makes the crowd react as he intends. The other sums don’t match what Antony asserts, so they don’t fit the passage. By focusing on this bequest, you see how Antony manipulates public opinion to undermine the conspirators and seize the moral high ground.
