Which excerpt from The Land, Part 4 is an example of direct characterization of Paul?
Answer
A
I asked him if Mitchell could go with us. "He's right good with horses now," I said. "He's gentle with them, and they trust him.”
B
"No," I said. "No, I won't be here, not here on my daddy's land. One day I'll have land of my own. I've got to have something all my own."
C
Afterward the Missourian congratulated my daddy and paid him the wager. Other people came around and said Starburst was a mighty fine horse and that I was a fine rider too.
D
“But I still have to say no. I don't want this boy or the horse getting hurt. Like I said, my boy rides only horses he knows. I thank you, sir, though, for the offer."
