Act 1 scene 2 answers in my opinion

2: Portia's mood is like that because all her suitors so far are not great men overhaul and she will be forced to marry one.

4: She dislikes them a lot.
Act 1 scene 3 answers in my opinion
1. No he doesn't. 1. Bassanio beliefs in a different religion and 2. Shylock gains nothing from getting a pound of flesh from Antonio besides satisfaction.
2. He beliefs his business is safe even is he doesn't get the money back. Antonio's business is almost always at risk since his business mostly relies on boats. Boats can easily sink in storms, attacked by pirate and a lot more. Even if they survive that the crewman could die to a disease on the boat making that ship useless or they could just get robbed while at shore.
3. Shylock despises Antonio for what he has done to Shylock in the past. They are both different religions as well and Shylock knows they would dine on some food that is not to be eaten in Jewish religion.
4. That Antonio lends out money with interest. Which he disproves of
5. No he doesn't convince him. Antonio says that the story only happened because god willed it. He said to Shylock "That business venture you’re referring to happened because God made it happen like that. Jacob didn’t have any control over what happened."
6. He admits to doing it and says he will do it again because they are not friends. Its a simple business matter to him nothing else.
7. Bassanio majorly dislikes it. He doesn't want to risk his best friend Antonio losing a pound of his flesh just so Bassanio can impress a woman.
