B
will pay Paul to ride his horse.
C
is not willing to negotiate with Paul.
D
is suspicious of Paul’s motives.
Explanation
Ray Sutcliffe says, “you ride for me today,” then promises to “make it worth your while.” Paul asks what Sutcliffe means by that, suggesting he expects payment or another reward for riding. The best choice is that Sutcliffe will pay Paul to ride his horse; the excerpt does not say he is offering Mitchell money.
