Answer 2

Portia and Nerrisa dressed up like men so that Bassanio and Gratiano should not rectify them.
Since Portia was worried about Bassanio so she made a plan with Nerissa to go to Duke and help Bassanio dearest friend Antonio who was going to give a pound of flesh to Shylock as per signed in the bond. According to the bond if Antonio was not able to pay the three thousands ducats back he has to give a pound of flesh to Shylock.
