Answer 1

Hello there!

The answer is, "He is afraid of a spell he believes Merlin has cast."
I just completed this exam and this answer is correct.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The other reason that Clarence gives for refusing to help Hank escape from the dungeon is that he is afraid of a spell he thinks Merlin has cast.

No one in the kingdom would help anyone escape from the dungeons due to that spell. Hank, however, tells Clarence that he is a magician himself, and much more powerful than Merlin too.
