What is Caesar's reaction when he first sees the conspirators surrounding him?

• A. He is confused but calm
• B. He flees in fear
• C. He shouts for help
• D. He pretends nothing is happening

Answer: (C)

When a character faces sudden, deliberate danger from trusted allies, the immediate impulse is to appeal for aid. In this moment, Caesar’s instinct is to sound an alarm and cry out for help as the conspirators close in. That reaction shows his recognition of treachery and his hope that someone will intervene, even as he realizes the danger is real. It isn’t a calm, resigned reception or a quick flight; it’s a desperate attempt to summon assistance in the face of an abrupt and secretive attack. The other possibilities don’t fit the scene’s urgency or Caesar’s first human response to being surrounded by would-be assassins.
