Read the excerpt from The Land. "You?" questioned my daddy. "Paul, you did this?" "Yes, sir," I said, looking straight at him. "I did." My daddy took a breath deep, then walked around Ghost Wind, inspecting him long and hard this time, before he came back and stood right in front of me. "Paul," he said to me, "you’re a good horseman, one of the best I’ve ever seen, and you know how to handle Ghost Wind. Now you going to stand here and tell me you rode this horse and let this happen to him?"
Answer
A
Ghost Wind is more dangerous than he thought he was.
B
Paul is not the one responsible for Ghost Wind’s injuries.
C
Paul is not as experienced with horses as he seemed to be.
D
Ghost Wind is too injured to continue his training.
Explanation
Paul’s father says Paul is one of the best horsemen he has ever seen and knows how to handle Ghost Wind. His question suggests he doubts that Paul would have caused or allowed the horse’s injuries, so the best choice is that Paul is not responsible for them.
