Question

Julius Caesar _____ a capable but ruthless leader. Which answer choice completes the sentence by using an action verb?

Answer 1

is

Step-by-step explanation:

A capable but ruthless leader refers to a positive description of his leadership. There is no action indicated, for this reason we need to make use of the verb to be in the singular form which is "is". It is of relevance to mention that the character described is Julius Caesar from Shakespeare's play. The historical figure is assassinated by a group of conspirators due to his corruption and ambition.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Julius Caesar was a capable but ruthless leader.

Step-by-step explanation:

Julius Caesar is a very important character in the play, although he doesn't appear much. He will be the one who will take the crown in Rome and is a much respected person for his people.

The biggest conflict that arises with Julius Caesar is that despite being a highly respected authority figure, he may not be rude enough to take care of the people of Rome, which was one of the things that Brutus was most concerned about.

Julius Caesar is killed during half of the play.
