Answers
Answer:
1. This scene takes place in a room in Portia's house at Belmont. People present are: Prince of Morocco and his attendants, Portia, Nerissa and her attendants. Morocco says that he got his dark colour because of the fierce sun.
2. Shylock says that he will walk with them, talk with them do business with them but will not eat or pray with them.
3.The reason bonds have been considered 'safe' investments is because, for the last 35 years, interest rates have been coming down, and when interest rates fall, bond values increase. ... Sure, bonds are still technically safer than stocks.
4. In the letter, Antonio writes that all of his ships are lost, and that Shylock plans to collect his pound of flesh. The news provokes a fit of guilt in Bassanio, which in turn prompts Portia to offer to pay twenty times the sum.
5. Give the conditions to which Antonio is bound. ... Antonio is bound to a bond according to which if he fails to repay the amount in due time, Shylock will be entitled to take an exact pound of flesh from any part of Antonio's body that he may wish.
