Answer 2

Defend Shylock in the trial scene from Portia

Explanation:

• Portia manages to save Antonio from gathering on her bond from Shylock by disguising herself as a male doctor and cleverly finding a loophole in the law that prevents Shylock from harming Antonio.

• The conditions Portia put to warn Shylock were: Shylock should not shed a drop of Antonio's blood while cutting Antonio's meat. Shylock should cut exactly one pound of Antonio's meat—no less, no more.

• Because Portia appears to be ruling for Shylock, he calls her Daniel to praise her kindness and wisdom. (It also reminds viewers that he is Jewish because the story of Daniel is found in the part of the Bible that Jews and Christians share.)
