Which character was a loyal supporter of Caesar and respected by the people whom he has served to protect?

• A. Julius Caesar
• B. Mark Antony
• C. Cassius
• D. Brutus

Answer: (B)

The question is testing loyalty and how a ally earns the people’s respect through action and rhetoric. Mark Antony stands out as the loyal supporter who remains by Caesar’s side and acts to protect both Caesar and Rome. He earns Caesar’s trust and openly honors him, and after Caesar’s death he uses his speaking skill to defend Caesar’s legacy and to reveal the conspirators’ manipulation. That combination—steadfast loyalty to Caesar and the ability to win over the Roman people with his words—shows why he would be respected by the people he has served to protect. The other figures fit roles as conspirators or as Caesar himself, not as the loyal ally who commands public respect after Caesar’s death.
