Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2.
[CASSIUS.] For once, upon a raw and gusty day,
The troubled Tiber chafing with her shores,
Said Caesar 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 roared, 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 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink!'

Which details should be included in a paraphrase of the
passage? Select three options.

beat upon the shores.
115 Even though I was still dressed in armor, I jumped in
on his dare and asked him to follow me.
Caesar and Cassius argued about the river.
Before we could reach our determined point, Caesar
started to sink, and cried out to me for help.
