Question

Read the excerpt from The Land. "Well, Mister Sutcliffe, I know what a rider's pay is around here, and it's not worth losing my job because of it. My boss told me not to ride a horse that's not his, so I know I'd be in real trouble with him if I did. No, sir, I thank you for your offer, but I don't figure to risk my job for just rider's pay." This dialogue advances the plot of the story by showing that Paul is concerned that Sutcliffe will contact his father. is not going to ride Sutcliffe’s horse in the race. is not going to tell Sutcliffe that Mr. Logan is his father. is intimidated by Sutcliffe’s actions.

Answer 1

Answer: is not going to tell Sutcliffe that Mr. Logan is his father

Step-by-step explanation:

Sutcliffe asks Mr. Logan, Paul's father, for permission to have Paul ride a horse in the next day race, but Mr. Logan refuses. Paul challenges his father´s decision, and when Sutcliffe asks him again, he refers to his father as his boss and pretends to be afraid of losing his job. His bargain strategy works because Sutcliffe agrees to pay him a lot more.
