What supernatural visitation occurs to Brutus in Act IV?

• A. The ghost of Caesar appears to Brutus
• B. The gods descend to speak
• C. A dream of future battles
• D. An oracle from Delphi

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is how a supernatural visitation deepens Brutus’s inner conflict and foreshadows his fate. In Act IV, Brutus is visited by Caesar’s ghost in his tent before the upcoming battle at Philippi. This appearance is Caesar’s shade, not a god, dream, or oracle—so it functions as a personal haunting that unsettles Brutus and signals that the consequences of the murder are returning to haunt him. The ghost’s warning, that they will meet again at Philippi, heightens the tension and underscores the idea that Brutus cannot escape the moral weight of his decision. The other possibilities don’t fit because there is no descent of gods, no dream of future battles presented as a dream, and no Delphi oracle scene in this moment.
