Answer 1

Antonio didn't have any actual money, because he invested it all in some ships (he was a merchant, after all--investing is how he made money). Antonio expected his ships to return soon, so he decided to help Bassanio by going to Shylock, a professional moneylender, to borrow money until his ships returned.
