Answer 1

Shylock, the Jewish mercant, father of Jessica was invited to dinner by Bassanio.( a masque).

Bassanio, Antonio's friend had taken loan from Shylock to go to Belmont to seek Portia.

The only reason Shylock gives for accepting the invitation was to spend and waste the money invested by Bassanio that night.
