Which conclusion does Brutus' argument best
support?
Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1
DECIUS. Shall no man else be touched, but only
Caesar?
CASSIUS. Decius, well urged. I think it is not meet
Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar,
Should outlive Caesar. We shall find of him
A shrewd contriver. And you know his means, 35
If he improve them, may well stretch so far
As to annoy us all, which to prevent,
Let Antony and Caesar fall together
BRUTUS. Our course will seem too bloody, Caius
Cassius,
To cut the head off and then hack the limbs,
40
Like wrath in death and envy afterwards
For Antony is but a limb of Caesar
Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.
We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar
O Mark Antony's life will be spared because he will be
useless without Caesar
O Mark Antony should also be assassinated because
he and Caesar are so close
O All of Caesar's followers should be put to death,
not just Mark Antony
O No matter whom Brutus and the others kill, the
people will see Brutus and the others as murderers.

When Brutus says "For Antony is but a limb of Caesar", he compares Antony to a limb of Caesar. If Caesar is dead, his limbs would be useless, and still. Brutus says something similar in the end of the passage, "And for Mark Antony, think not of him, for he can do no more than Caesar’s arm when Caesar’s head is off." Basically, Brutus says to ignore Antony, because he is not a threat if Caesar is dead. He is like an arm of Caesar, which is useless if Caesar is dead. An arm cannot move without the head.
