Portia is Brutus' devoted wife. She doesn't get a whole lot of stage time but we think she's an interesting figure, especially when it comes to the play's concern with gender dynamics.
When Brutus refuses to confide in Portia, she takes issue with his secrecy: as a married couple, she says, they should have no secrets.
Dear my lord, Make me acquainted with your cause of grief. [...] Within the bond of marriage, tell me, Brutus, Is it excepted I should know no secrets That appertain to you? Am I your self But, as it were, in sort or limitation, To keep with you at meals, comfort your bed, And talk to you sometimes? Dwell I but in the suburbs Of your good pleasure? If it be no more, Portia is Brutus' harlot, not his wife.(2.1.275-276; 302-310)
In other words, Portia is sick and tired of being excluded from her husband's world just because she's a woman. She also suggests that, when Brutus keeps things from her, he's treating her like a "harlot [prostitute], not his wife."
Portia's desire to be close to her husband seems reasonable enough. But Portia also has the annoying habit of talking about women (including herself) as though they're weaker than men.
I grant I am a woman; but withal A woman well-reputed, Cato's daughter. Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Being so fathered and so husbanded? Tell me your counsels; I will not disclose 'em. I have made strong proof of my constancy, Giving myself a voluntary wound Here, in the thigh. Can I bear that with patience. And not my husband's secrets? (2.1.317-325)
Here Portia says she knows she's just a girl, but since she's the daughter and wife of two really awesome men, that makes her better than the average woman. To prove her point, she stabs herself in the thigh without flinching and demands that her husband treat her with more respect. Yikes! Later she kills herself by swallowing "fire," or hot coals (4.3). This is interesting because it's usually men who are prone to violence in the play.
History Snack: When Portia says she knows she's just "a woman" but she also thinks she's "stronger" and more constant (i.e., steady and masculine) than most, she sounds a lot like Queen Elizabeth I (Shakespeare's monarch) who famously said "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king" ("Speech to the Troops at Tilbury", 1588). Queen Elizabeth I, like Portia, buys into the idea that women are weaker than men but also presents herself as the exception to the rule.
Adult Learning Principles or Adult Learning Theory was first theorized by Malcolm Knowles in 1968. This theory suggests that the ways of learning in adults differ from the ways and principles of learning in children. This is also known as andragogy.
There are several factors that help an adult in the learning process. Unlike a child, in adults the motivation is intrinsic. They are motivated internally, which means that they look for the things that satisfy them internally. They are practical learners. Adults tend to practically do what they learn theoretically.
<u>In the given case, Sahara is giving a presentation in a large corporation, so her audience would be consisting of adults. So she has prepared her presentation on listening skills based on activities. It is because adults tend to learn faster when involved and engaged equally in the activities</u>.
So, the correct answer is adult learning principles.
Fables are characterized by their moral lessons and can be passed down to teach listeners and readers good advice, proper behaviours, good manners and the difference between right and wrong.
There always is a simple conflict and a resolution followed by a short pitchy statement expressing a general rule or a conduct to be ruled by.

In the poem "Homework," Allen Ginsberg most likely uses free verse to "share his desire to restore the world to its pristine condition, using an unstructured format." He wants to show that his poems can be written freely without any other structure that should be followed. A structured-poem prohibits nor forced you to follow something that is not at your interest. You can freely expressed well what your poem is about to say.
