Read the two excerpts from act 4, scene 3, and act 5, scene 5, of Julius Caesar.
CASSIUS. Ha! Portia?
BRUTUS. She is dead.
CASSIUS. How scaped I killing when I crossed you so?
O insupportable and touching loss!
Upon what sickness?
BRUTUS. Impatient of my absence,
And grief that young Octavius with Mark Antony
Have made themselves so strongâfor with her death
That tidings came. With this, she fell distraught,
And, her attendants absent, swallowed fire.
BRUTUS. Why this, Volumnius.
The ghost of Caesar hath appeared to me
Two several times by nightâat Sardis once,
And this last night, here in Philippi fields.
I know my hour is come.
VOLUMNIUS. Not so, my lord.
BRUTUS. Nay, I am sure it is, Volumnius.
Thou seest the world, Volumnius, how it goes.
Our enemies have beat us to the pit,
[Low alarums]
It is more worthy to leap in ourselves
Than tarry till they push us. Good Volumnius,
Thou knowâst that we two went to school together.
Even for that, our love of old, I prithee,
Hold thou my sword hilts, whilst I run on it. . . .
So fare you well at once, for Brutusâ tongue
Hath almost ended his lifeâs history.
Night hangs upon mine eyes; my bones would rest,
That have but laboured to attain this hour. . . .
I prithee, Strato, stay thou by thy lord.
Thou art a fellow of a good respect.
Thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it.
Hold then my sword, and turn away thy face
While I do run upon it. Wilt thou, Strato?
Which statement best compares Brutusâs remarks at the death of his wife, Portia, to his words before his own death?
Brutus shows extreme sorrow and regret over both deaths.
Brutus is matter of fact when talking about both deaths, but he takes time for reflection when talking about his own impending death.
Brutus uses more imagery when speaking about Portiaâs death and is direct when speaking of his own.
Brutus explains how Portia died, but he completely avoids talking about his own death.

It is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. . among the wonderful deeds of hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. this arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty, which, with his boundless valour, made him revered and terrible in the sight of his soldiers, but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect. âthe prince, niccolò machiavelli what kind of reasoning does machiavelli use in this excerpt? he uses inductive reasoning because he offers statistics to prove his claim. he uses inductive reasoning because he observes a pattern and proves a conclusion. he uses deductive reasoning because he relies on scientific experiments to prove a conclusion. he uses deductive reasoning because he introduces a conclusion and proves it with evidence.
