Answer 2

Answer:

Bassanio needed to borrow money in order to court Portia, a wealthy and beautiful noblewoman with an estate. Bassanio needed to dress well, prepare gifts for her, travel to her estate, and generally spend money to present himself in the best possible light to woo such an important woman.

Explanation:

• He already owes Antonio money that he has not repaid. He claims that another 3000 ducats will be more than enough to repay Antonio. Bassanio wants the money so he can pay a visit to Portia, the beautiful heiress, and try to win her as his wife.
• Bassanio approached Antonio because he wanted to go to Belmont and gamble on the caskets in order to marry Portia. Bassanio didn't have enough money to travel to Belmont, let alone dress appropriately as the lover of such a wealthy heiress. As a result, he requested that Antonio lend him three thousand ducats.

Thus this is the answer.
