Answer 1

Answer:

A monastery is a building or group of buildings in which monks or nuns live, work, and pray after taking religious vows. In act 3, scene 4 of The Merchant of Venice, Portia instructs Lorenzo to take charge of her household, claiming that she and Nerissa are planning to stay in solitude at a nearby monastery in order to have a restful time of prayer and contemplation.
