Answer:
Shylock in "Merchant of the Venice" is depicted as a comic character in the scene because of the way he laments the loss of his daughter and his ducat.
Explanation:
The manner in which Shylock's laments added humor to the play, His repetition of "O my daughter!, O! my christian ducats", amuses the audience and shows his greedy nature because it is shown that Jessica is another possession for him as well as the ducats.
The manner and way in which the boys of Venice mocked and jeered him as they followed him by repeating the tone of his lamentation, all this added to the humor in the scene. Shylock wants justice from the Jew who had eloped with his daughter and taking with her, his jewelry and ducats.

Answer:
Wilbur Wright looked to nature for inspiration in his flight engineering and had done so since he was a child.
Explanation:
The Wright Brothers, the inventor of building the world's first successful airplane, wrote letters to Smithsonian Institution while they were making the human flight possible.
On May 30, 1899, Wilbur Wright wrote the letter to the institution asserting that human flight is possible. He said that he has been observing birds since his childhood and interested in mechanical and human flights. He had made bats of different sizes since childhood especially after reading the stories of Cayley's and Penaud's machines.
Wilbur has looked to birds for the techniques of gymnastics, as they are the world's perfectly trained gymnasts.
Thus the 1899 letter concludes that Wilbur has looked to nature for inspiration and has done so since his childhood.
