Which of the following is true about the supernatural event Brutus experiences?

• A. It is a dream with no real significance
• B. It is Brutus's own invention to frighten his soldiers
• C. It is Caesar's ghost appearing to Brutus
• D. It is a vision of the gods announcing victory

Answer: (C)

The event tests recognizing a supernatural visitation in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and understanding its significance for Brutus. In the scene, Brutus encounters Caesar’s ghost in his tent, and the apparition speaks to him, foreshadowing a future meeting at Philippi. That the figure is described as Caesar’s ghost—not a dream Brutus invented or a vision from the gods—gives the moment real weight within the play’s world. It signals Brutus’s guilt and the consequences of the conspirators’ actions, and it sets up the impending clash at Philippi rather than announcing victory. So the supernatural visit is Caesar’s ghost appearing to Brutus.
