Answer:

onsequently, Bassanio rejects the golden casket; it is a symbol for all "outward shows"; likewise, he rejects the silver casket, calling it a "common drudge / 'Tween man and man." Instead, he chooses the casket made of "meagre lead," which is the least attractive of the caskets — if they are judged by appearance alone

\huge\mathfrak\red{answer}

Bassanio refuses gold because he knows that "all that glisters is not gold." He also refuses silver, calling it "common drudge 'tween man and man," as coins are. He chooses lead because he knows that true worth lies inside, even if the outside doesn't look like much.Bassanio ends up correctly picking the lead casket that holds Portia's portrait inside. Upon opening the casket, Bassanio sees Portia's portrait and is pleasantly surprised. Bassanio immediately refers to Portia's image as a "demigod" and describes the portrait as having beautiful moving eyes.
