Question

Q1A. Read the passage and answer the following questions:


Bassanio wanted to try his luck with the caskets. To do that, he had to travel to
Belmont where Portia lived on her estate. He needed money for that. When
Antonio came to know this, he wanted to help. He told Bassanio to borrow money
in his (Antonio's) name. They went to Shylock, the Jewish moneylender, and
asked him for the money.
Shylock had a lot of money, but he was not at all generous. Money was all that
he cared for. He did not like Antonio, because Antonio sometimes lent people
money without charging any interest for it.
So, Shylock decided to take advantage of this situation. He gave them the
money on a strange condition. If Antonio failed to return the money within
three months, Shylock would cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh. Antonio agreed
to this and borrowed the money for Bassanio.
