Answer 2

Answer: Portia doesn't care about her development.

Explanation: If Portia marries Bassino then Bassino is poor so Portia's money will be spent too much, and Antonio had lent money from Shylock but Shylock wanted Antonio's 1 pound of flesh so Portia again have to spend her money for Antonio's life . And now Portia's money has been spent too much but Portia is not angry with neither Antonio nor Bassino, so hence proved that Portia doesn't care about her development because she loves her husband Bassino very much .
