Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow:

Antonio:

Thou know’st that all my fortunes are at sea;

Neither have I money, nor commodity

To raise a present sum: therefore, go forth;

Try what my credit can in Venice do:

That shall be rack’d, even to the uttermost,

To furnish thee to Belmont, to fair Portia.

Go, presently inquire, and so will I,

Where money is; and I no question make,

To have it of my trust or for my sake.
