Which conspirators are listed as participants in Caesar's assassination?

• A. Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Decius Brutus, Cinna, Metellus Cimber, Trebonius
• B. Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Calpurnia
• C. Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Decius Brutus, Cinna
• D. Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Decius Brutus, Cinna, Trebonius, Artemidorus

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying who actively joins the plot to kill Caesar. In the play, the conspirators are a specific group who hatch the plan and take part in the assassination. The names Brutus and Cassius lead the group, but other conspirators who participate in the act include Casca, Decimus Brutus, Cinna, Metellus Cimber, and Trebonius. Each of these characters is part of the scene in the Senate where Caesar is attacked, working together to ensure the assassination happens.

Artemidorus shows up with a warning letter, but he is not part of the conspiracy. Calpurnia is Caesar’s wife and not involved in the plot. So the option that lists Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Decimus Brutus, Cinna, Metellus Cimber, and Trebonius aligns with who actively participates in the assassination, making it the best choice.
