The proscriptions of 43 BCE resulted in the death of which prominent orator and senator?

  1. Cato the Younger
  2. Marcus Junius Brutus
  3. CiceroCorrect answer
  4. Gaius Cassius Longinus

Explanation

Cicero was placed on the triumvirs' proscription lists and killed in December 43 BCE, largely due to his public attacks on Antony. Cato had already died years earlier, and Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus died later, after their defeat at Philippi, rather than in the proscriptions themselves.
