A. Antony displays Caesar's will and says that if the people read it, they would worship Caesar so much that they would want something from him to worship as a relic.

C. Antony suggests that the people go to Caesar's body to collect relics that they can pass down to their younger family members.
D. Antony incites anger in the people by displaying and reading Caesar's will to show how rich Caesar has become as the leader of Rome.
Correct Answer: A. Antony displays Caesar's will and says that if the people read it, they would worship Caesar so much that they would want something from him to worship as a relic.
Explanation:-
In the given answer, Antony is alluding to one of the scenes in the Julius Caesar play written by Shakespeare. As the play comes to its end, after Caesar's death, Antony steps forward, gets the attention of the crowd and presents Caesar's will. The summary concludes to the fact that Antony employs the will in an effort to manipulate the feelings of the people. Antony presents Caesar's will to the people claiming that Caesar planned to reward the people, and by mentioning the will, the people will worship Caesar even more. The desire to have a relic refers to how much they would care about remembering him, referring to Caesar.
The language used by Antony to present his case is perfect and the speech is an excellent representation of how one can manipulate the sentiment of a crowd. Through such a statement of there being a will left by Caesar, Antony is able to appeal to the conscience as well as the pride of the Romans in equal measure for killing Caesar. This strategy helps to redirect the people's anger towards the conspirators who betrayed and killed Caesar. By appealing to the notion of worshipping Caesar through his will, Antony is shown as essentially as bent on inciting rebellion as Brutus.
