Question

Just before Bassanio has started speaking, two persons had left the stage. What
did one of them say about 'silence'?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When he is left alone with Bassanio, he asks his friend about his visit to a lady. Bassanio then confesses that he is in love with a rich lady from Belmont, but without any money, because of his extravagant nature, he’ll not find a chance to woo the lady. He will be at a disadvantage as compared with the other rich suitors. He requested Antonio to lend him sufficient money, but Antonio does not have any ready cash as his ‘fortunes are at sea’ but offers to stand as a guarantee for a credit to raise the money.
