Explanation:

Answer 2

Shylock called Antonio as a fawning publican as he was a cringy man and often lended money without interest.

• The question has been asked from the Merchant of Venice.
• Antonio was bound to a contract as per which Shylock was entitled to take a pound of flesh from Antonio's body. It could be from any part he wishes to, if somehow he failed to repay the amount in due time.
• Antonio's misjudged Shylock 's intentions and for him signing such a fatal bond was extremely unwise. This is when he called him a fawning publican.
