Final answer:
It is "probable" that the second in command does not want to follow the emperor's desire to free Gulliver.
The answer is option ⇒2
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "probable" refers to something that is likely to happen or is likely to be true based on available evidence or information. In this case, we can infer from the statement that the second in command does not want to follow the emperor's desire to free Gulliver.
However, it's important to note that without additional information or context, we cannot be certain about the second in command's intentions. The word "probable" suggests that there is a strong likelihood or possibility that the second in command does not want to comply with the emperor's wishes.
Other answer options:
1) "Possible" means that there is a chance or a potential for the second in command to not want to follow the emperor's desire. It indicates that it is within the realm of possibility, but there may not be enough information to determine the likelihood.
2) "Likely" also suggests a high probability or strong chance that the second in command does not want to comply with the emperor's desire. It indicates that there is a greater expectation or belief that this is the case based on the available information.
4) "Certain" means that there is complete assurance or conviction that the second in command does not want to follow the emperor's desire. This answer implies that there is no doubt or uncertainty about the second in command's intentions, which may not be supported by the given statement.
The answer is option ⇒2
