Which conspirator is the one who lures Antony out of the state house?

• A. Metellus Cimber
• B. Lepidus
• C. Trebonius
• D. Titinius

Answer: (C)

This question tests your recall of each conspirator’s task in the assassination plan. Trebonius is given the role of drawing Antony aside from the state house, using a private, convincing approach so Antony leaves the room and cannot interfere with Caesar’s murder. This separation is crucial because Antony’s presence could derail the plot or rally support for Caesar. The other conspirators have different parts—Metellus Cimber creates a distraction with a petition to Caesar, while Lepidus and Titinius aren’t assigned this particular maneuver at that moment—so Trebonius is the one chosen to lure Antony away.
