Answer:
A- Paul and his father will argue about Paul riding Sutcliffe’s horses.
Explanation:
First of all, this is what actually happens, and they almost always (I have never seen it not happen) use the thing that happens as the answer. This is because it matches with the rest of the story and the structure of the sentance.
Second, the other options do NOT match with the given, and are therefore a less likely answer.
Third, fourth and fifth, The second option does not make sense because the father explicitly states that there is a reason that he did not ask, or, rather, implies it but in a way that is so common it needs no explanation.
The Third option is very unlikely because we see that Paul is a free spirit and that when he sets his sights on something, he very likely will not give up.
The fourth option is very unlikely because his father, again, implies very strongly that there is a reason (and that [loosely] he should already know the answer).
So therefore, by proccess of elimination, explanation, and evidence we can conclude that the answer is option A.
Answer:
Paul can no longer accept the hypocrisy of his father’s actions.
