Based on the excerpt above, which statement about Caesar is true?
A. Caesar was disliked by the common people.
B. Caesar had no desire for a political career.
C. Cicero believed Caesar had noble political intentions.
D. Caesar gained popularity and political influence but also gained enemies during his life.
The correct answer is: D) Ceasar gained popularity and political influence but also gained enemis during his life.
This excerpt clearly shows this as we can see both sides. In one side Ceasar's popularity and political influence is shown. His skills and charisma made him a well known leader between the elite and the common people of that era.
On the other hand, later in the paragraph the word "enemies" is shown, meaning he was not surrounded only by good intentions. One of this enemies is named in the text, Cicero, he realized that Ceasar hospitality and manners were not desinterested, they were political maneuvers to gain more power and control.
We can see that the point of the text is to describe both the followers and the enemies that Ceasar gained.
Option A is incorrect as the paragraph states: "...much good will from the common people for the friendliness of his manners" showing they liked him.
Option B is proven wrong through the text as his actions were directly related to his political career.
And option C is wrong because Cicero is labeled as one of his first enemies as he discovered his true intentions.

Explanation:
"The Cruel Tribute" by James Baldwin is based on the Greek mythology of the monster Minotaur and the tribute asked by King Minos.
As a form of revenge and re-compensation for his son's death, King Minos asked the city of Athens to pay an annual tribute of seven maidens and seven young men to his kingdom. One year, Theseus, the king's son decided to volunteer for the tribute. There, he met the princess who fell in love with him. So, before they were taken to the cave of the monster Minotaur, she provided a thread and a sword to Theseus. The thread was for them to find their way back to the entrance and the sword to kill Minotaur. Theseus slays the monster and escaped with the other youths, along with the princess. King Aegeus had told the men to put up a white sail if his son is alive. But in their excitement and happiness, they forgot to put up the white sail. When Aegeus saw the black sail still flying in the approaching ship, he fell into the sea and drowned.
