Question

Using the context clues in the passage, what is the best paraphrase of the bolded line?

I do not need any help in these matters, for I am the son of a king.
I hope that I can have your advice and not have to simply rely on my own to make a decision.
I would like to be a counselor, because even though I cannot help myself, maybe I can help others.
Mine is the only voice I like to listen to; no one else sings better than me.

Answer 1

The best paraphrase of the bolded line "I do not need any help in these matters, for I am the son of a king" is:

"I am confident in my abilities and don't require assistance because of my royal lineage."

This conveys the idea that the speaker believes their status as a king's son makes them capable enough to handle the situation on their own.
