#1. For malapropism, consider act 2 sc 2: the exchange between Gobbo and his son's future master, Bassanio, produces a few malapropisms from the old man. Gobbo tells Bassanio in line 133 that: He hath a great infection, sir, as one would say, to serve-- An infection refers to an attack by a virus or bacteria which brings about illness or disease. Gobbo actually wants to say is affection, which means desire.
