Answer:

A. To show the audience that he believed Boniface deserved to be in Hell as well.

Explanation:

Dante Alighieri's famous epic poem "Divine Comedy" consists of three parts- Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. The part of Inferno is the first, showing Virgil and Dante in the world of suffering interacting with the various sinners.

The excerpt given in the question is from Canto XIX where Virgil and Dante had gone to the Third pouch, a place where the sinners of simony are punished. One of the souls they meet was that of Pope Nicholas III who mistook Dante for Boniface. Now, Boniface was also a pope during that time but was still alive when the this scene was happening. By his mistaken identification of Dante as Boniface, Pope Nicholas seems to provide a reference to the future of Boniface. Dante included this scene to show the audience that even Pope Boniface is also deserving of hell.

Which statements support the inference that Brutus is motivated to protect Rome from tyranny? Check all that apply. Brutus fears
bija089 [108]

<u>Answer</u>:

(B) “Brutus cares about all Romans” And (E) “Brutus does not know how Caesar will change”.

These statements support the inference that Brutus is motivated to protect Rome from tyranny.

<u>Explanation</u>:

'Julius Caesar' by “William Shakespeare” is a story about how Roman Republic came to an end.

“Julius Caesar” was a great Roman 'general' and 'senator'. His good friend, “Brutus” loved Rome more than he loved his dear friend, Caesar. So, his enemies even manipulated him to believe that Caesar might misuse his powers and planned to kill him to preserve the "Republic".  

Brutus strongly believed that Caesar's death will benefit Rome. He is thus confused between supporting Caesar and Rome and is the “tragic hero” of the play.
