Caesar said to me 'darest thou, cassius, now leap in with me into this angry flood, and swim to yonder point? ' upon the word, accoutred as i was, i plunged in and bade him follow; so indeed he did. the torrent roar'd, and we did buffet it with lusty sinews, throwing it aside and stemming it with hearts of controversy; but ere we could arrive the point proposed, caesar cried ' me, cassius, or i sink! ' the word in bold means (10 points) select one: a. greek mythology b. muscle strength c. rushing water d. dressed in uniform

The words in the excerpt that match with definitions are:

a. Greek mythology --there is no reference to Greek mythology in this passage
b. muscle strength: sinew (sinews are the tendons that, if strong, contribute to muscle strength)
c. rushing water: torrent 
d. dressed in uniform: Accoutred

I looked this question up, and each time I found it with a different word in bold. For that reason, rather than choosing one option, I will provide the answer for all possibilities.

Sinews - b. muscle strengthTorrent - c. rushing waterAccoutred - d. dressed in uniformConnotation of each word:In anatomy, a sinew is a tendon or ligament. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, it is used with a different connotation, meaning muscle strength. Cassius means that he and Caesar had to use a lot of strength to survive in the water.A torrent is a stream of water that moves with extreme speed and force. That is why Caesar and Cassius had to use a lot of strength. They were trying to survive the rushing water.Finally, the verb "accoutre" refers to dressing or equipping something or someone, usually in an impressive manner. In the context it is used, it means dressed in uniform. Cassius was wearing his uniform when he and Caesar decided to plunge into the rushing water.
