Respuesta :

C..
Additionally, he states this line: 'If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.' Again, Brutus is appealing to the Romans by demonstrating his love for his country and stating that Caesar's death was a necessity. Brutus goes on to describe Caesar as an ambitious man but tells them that he will still honor his bravery and that his crimes of ambition have not been exaggerated. He then asks the crowd if they are still upset.
c. it makes the crowd sympathetic toward brutus and understanding of his actions.
