Question 5 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

What evidence from The Land, Part 2 best supports the claim that Paul has a unique talent with horses?

Answer
A
He convinces Mitchell to ride Ghost Wind.
B
He enjoys caring for and training Ghost Wind.
C
His father allows him to ride Ghost Wind alone.
D
He takes responsibility for injuring Ghost Wind.

Explanation

Paul’s father allowing him to ride Ghost Wind alone is the strongest evidence of Paul’s special ability with horses. The permission suggests his father trusts Paul to handle the horse safely without help. Enjoying horse care or taking responsibility for an injury does not show talent as directly.
