. In Scene 3, King Minos talks to Daedalus about containing the Minotaur, saying, "But be discreet. No one can know about it." Which line helps readers understand why Minos doesn't want anyone to know about it?

This line when the guard says, "We’ve been trying to keep the beast a secret, to avoid a panic".

Explanation:

When Minos was talking to Daedalus about containing the beast, he explains how the beast came about by saying, "I was supposed to sacrifice my prizebull to the god Poseidon. But I chose a lesserbull instead. Poseidon became so angry thathe cursed me with this beast. He even namedit the Minotaur—after me".

Then a guard now explains why it must be a secret, when he says, "We’ve been trying to keep the beasta secret, to avoid a panic".

The panic that will result when people know that there's a beast in the palace is what the King wishes to avoid.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
