Passage 1 According to a biblical story, a father once divided his inheritance between his two sons. The younger son left home and spent his share on wasteful and luxurious things. After he spent his fortune, he returned to his father. He begged his father to hire him as a servant so that he wouldn’t have to go hungry. The father, however, quickly forgave the son and asked his servants to dress him in rich clothing. To celebrate his son's return, he asked his servants to slaughter a fattened calf for a celebratory meal. The younger son in the story is often referred to as the prodigal son.

Passage 2
The first thing Maddison noticed as she entered Earl's Diner was the new barstools and counter. But then her attention moved to the walls, the ceiling, the lighting, the waitresses, and even the menu. Everything had undergone a drastic change.

The owner of the diner stood behind the counter. "So, what do you think?" he asked a bit anxiously. “I just inherited some money from my dad and thought I’d use it to fix up this place.”

"Earl, you must be your father’s prodigal son," Maddison said, as she glanced again at the whole diner.

Read the excerpt from the land. in the late afternoon i did the same, but all the time i was on the stallion, i was aware that mitchell was watching me. he had appeared on the edge of the woods and had just stood there watching ghost wind and me as we went round and round the meadow. finally, on one of our turns past him, he said: "s'pose you thinkin' you a real somebody 'cause you can ride that stallion." i looked down at mitchell and stopped, knowing that despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with me. now, i don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing i did. maybe i was feeling guilty that because i was my daddy's son, i could ride ghost wind. maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear i said what i said. i no longer was afraid of mitchell. "you want to ride him? " i asked. mitchell took a step backward. it was obvious he hadn't expected me to say that. "you know i can't ride him," he said. "your white daddy'd kill me." "you want to ride him? " i asked again. mitchell looked at the stallion, then at me. "so, what if i do? " what intrinsic motivation does the author most likely intend the reader to infer from the passage? paul is motivated by his need to have mitchell praise his riding skills. mitchell is motivated by his need to have paul praise his riding skills. paul is motivated by jealousy and wishes he had free time like mitchell. mitchell is motivated by jealousy and wishes he could ride the horse.
