Now the king had a grand-vizir who was avaricious, and envious, and a very bad man. He grew extremely jealous of the physician,

and determined to bring about his ruin. In order to do this he asked to speak in private with the king, saying that he had a most important communication to make. "What is it?" asked the king. "Sire," answered the grand-vizir, "it is most dangerous for a monarch to confide in a man whose faithfulness is not proved. You do not know that this physician is not a traitor come here to assassinate you." –“The Story of the Greek King and the Physician Douban,” Andrew Lang What inferences can be made about the grand-vizir’s motivations for speaking with the king in private? Check all that apply. He wants the king’s complete attention. He does not want anyone to warn Douban. He believes that the king will shame him in public.

Answer:

He wants the king’s complete attention.

He is afraid of someone pointing out the error of his false accusations.

Explanation:

The doctor, to whom the text refers, was a man of good character, a good professional and someone with many positive characteristics. All of this made the king admire the doctor and give him a lot of attention. So much attention that it made the grand vizier jealous.

The grand vizier used to have the king's intention and did not want to share it with anyone. For this reason, he decided to create false accusations to tarnish the doctor's reputation and make the king begin to see the doctor with a bad eye. He decided to make up stories that accused the doctor of treason and murder, but as he was afraid that someone would deny these stories, the grand-vizier decided to speak to the king immediately, before he met someone else.
