Answer 1

Answer:

The Duke made a request to Shylock that he should forgive Antonio and give up on the claim to cut his flesh.

Explanation:

• The expression has been taken from "Merchant of Venice."
• As Antonio couldn't keep up the deal with Shylock, he asked the court to cut his flesh.
• However, Portia's smartness and timely entry in support of Antonio saved him from Shylock.
