Answer:
ans 1.Ergo is the Latin word for 'therefore'.Launcelot wants to play a game with his father, so he uses high-sounding words in order to confuse his father and disguise his identity.
He called Gobbo 'father' in order to show respect .No, Launcelot is not a master in real . He was a servant of Shylock who ran away.
