Answer:

C. The Duke of Saxony's nephew

Explanation:

In <em>The Merchant of Venice </em>by Shakespeare, the main character, Portia, is to be wedded to a suitor who makes the right choice in the trial-game that his father devised. One of the suitors is the nephew of the Duke of Saxony, who is a drunk and for which reason, Portia despises. Due to his drunken habits, Portia compares him to a sponge that will absorb any alcohol that is placed before him.

C. Some were afraid to do their job while others took bribes from fishermen.

<span>Within the excerpt we see that Neil Partington is noted as being the best fish patrolman.  This statement is made, then rationale is provided by the direct characterization of Neil Partington as being “neither dishonest nor cowardly.”  Because he was not cowardly, it can be assumed that he is brave in the line of duty.  Additionally, because he does not take bribes, it can be assumed that he does not take bribes, the nature of which is dishonest.  Thus, best response is “C. Some were afraid to do their job while others took bribes from fishermen.”</span>
