Answer

Exam answer

(a) Caesar was ambitious and wanted to be crowned king..

Explanation

Antony’s entire purpose is to DISPROVE ambition, so he never asserts it as his own view — he only quotes Brutus’s charge and then dismantles it. The other three are all his: the ransoms filling the treasury, the weeping for the poor, and the will with its seventy-five drachmas. In NOT questions, verify the three that are true and the answer falls out.

In words

Caesar was ambitious and wanted to be crowned king..

Example

That Caesar was ambitious and wanted to be crowned king.
