Who suggests killing Marc Anthony in addition to Caesar?

• A. Brutus
• B. Portia
• C. Cassius
• D. Calphurnia

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is recognizing who thinks beyond the immediate target and treats the plan as needing to neutralize any future threat. In the moment when the conspirators are deciding how far to go, one character argues that killing Caesar isn’t enough—Marc Antony must also be eliminated to prevent him from rallying Caesar’s supporters and undoing the conspiracy after Caesar’s death. This character is driven by a pragmatic, ruthless sense of political calculation: remove the strongest remaining associate of Caesar, and the plot stands a better chance of succeeding.

This is the person’s way of securing their position by removing a potential rival who could mobilize the crowd or form an alliance that would challenge the new order. Brutus, by contrast, often frames things in terms of virtue and the rightness of their cause, seeking to keep the plan limited in scope. The other two, Portia and Calphurnia, are more concerned with personal fear, safety, and omens than with strategic moves like eliminating Antony.

So the best answer comes from recognizing Cassius as the one who pushes for removing Antony to prevent future threats and ensure the conspiracy remains uncontested.
