Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of julius caesar.

messenger. prepare you, generals.
the enemy comes on in gallant show.
their bloody sign of battle is hung out,
and something to be done immediately.

antony. octavius, lead your battle softly on,
upon the left hand of the even field.

octavius. upon the right hand, i; keep thou the left.

how does the use of the word gallant add to the meaning of the sentence?

it suggests the enemy is planning a surprise.
it shows that the enemy is in a weakened state.
it reveals that the enemy is distracted.
it suggests that the enemy is courag

A: There is nothing surprising about a gallant show. It is banners flying and full throttle ahead. A is incorrect.

B: If their banners are flying, B could only be a bluff to be true. We doubt that very much. Caesar doesn't think so. B is not correct. If you read the previous part of Act V scene I, Octavius and Antony have exchanged comments on what they think. What they think is that, though cowardly, Brutus and Cassius and their armies are not to be trifled with. They will move forward to battle at Philippi which was not expected. Anthony thought they would stick to the high ground which apparently is not so.

C: I don't know how to get rid of C other than to say it isn't so. No army facing a formidable foe becomes distracted.

D: I'm going to pick D, but it is not wholly correct. If it said they wanted to appear courageous, there would be no doubt that this is true. This quotation does not include the sentiments of the beginning part of Act 5 Scene 1 so you have to go by what is here.

This is one of those things where there really is no right answer. D is the closest one, but it is fairly remote from being right. B is your second best the messenger does not convey this information in his report, but don't be  surprised if B turns out to be the answer.

D

Explanation:

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

cavern or cave
