Answer: D) The King attempted to trap Mamad, but underestimated the man's dedication
Step-by-step explanation:
King did want to attempt to trap Mamad, but he did not realize that Mamad only speaks of the things he can truly guarantee or that he saw with his own eyes. That is why he refused to say King will surely come to the feast. That is where Mamad's dedication lies, how he manages never to lie, and how King failed to fool Mamad.
