Explanation:

To answer how Portia describes the way the rumor is circulating, we look at the passage: "And the wind brings it from the Capitol." This shows the rumor is being carried by the wind. The other options (being broadcast by the town crier, being repeated by the women in the town) are not supported by the given text.

Answer:

being carried by the wind
