1. why is portia so nervous? (p. 36-37)
2. what does portia want lucius to do? (p. 37)
3. what does the soothsayer tell portia? (p. 37-38)

Explanation:

These questions are about a literary work (likely Julius Caesar), so the subfield of Arts - Literature applies. To answer, one would refer to the text (pages 36 - 38, Act II, Scene 4) to find details about Artemidorus's plan, Portia's nervousness, her request to Lucius, and the soothsayer's message to Portia. For example, Artemidorus plans to give Caesar a letter warning him of the conspiracy; Portia is nervous about Brutus's involvement in a dangerous plot; Portia wants Lucius to go to the Capitol and observe events; the soothsayer tells Portia he'll try to speak to Caesar again about the danger.

Answer:

1. Artemidorus plans to give Caesar a letter warning him of the conspiracy against him.
2. Portia is nervous because she knows Brutus is involved in a dangerous plot (against Caesar) and is worried for his safety and the outcome.
3. Portia wants Lucius to go to the Capitol and observe what is happening there, especially regarding Caesar and Brutus.
4. The soothsayer tells Portia that he will try to speak to Caesar again to warn him about the danger (the ides of March threat, though Caesar had dismissed him before).
