Answer:

  • because he does not like to sit when spending time with the queen because the chairs are made from the queen’s hair

Step-by-step explanation:

In the seventh chapter, the King had shaved his hair and Gulliver had meshed the hair into seats just to fulfill the Queen of Brobdingnag's interest.

Gulliver trusts that sitting on the ruler's seat would not be a good thing to do.
