Answer:

Shylock "raise the stakes" proposing that Antonio repay the loan with his own meat from his body, if he cannot pay with money within the given time.

Explanation:

Shylock is a Jewish moneylender who was once very humiliated by Antonio who was extremely anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish. Shylock had a very bad grudge towards Antonio and when he needed a loan of money to make a certain trip, Shylock did not hesitate to propose the loan of a high amount that should be paid in a short time, besides he "raised the stakes" , stating that the loan would have Antonio's meat as interest if the payment was not made as agreed. Shylock said that if Antonio did not pay correctly, he would have to pay off the debt with a pound of meat from his own body.

The correct answer is letter A: Certain words such as “Party’s” could have more than one meaning and reveals sarcasm in the author’s tone.

The author used ambiguity in such lines because he was sarcastic about the event that was about to commence. He could have used the words "squad" or "cavalry" but he picked the word party to show his sarcastic tone. Ambiguous means, words that are open to more than one interpretation by the reader. The author gave the readers the chance to decipher how the characters are going to act out in the situation.

Where Strength and Beauty, met together,

Kindle their image like a star

In a sea of glassy weather!

Night, with all thy stars look down,—

Darkness, weep thy holiest dew,—

Never smiled the inconstant moon

On a pair so true.

Imagery refers to the add of vivid and descriptive language to describe a certain event or objects.

This can be seen from this line:

Where Strength and Beauty, met together,

Kindle their image like star

The word 'star' is used to vividly describe beauty and strength because star is known to shine brightly and have a high aesthetical value for most people.
