Read the excerpt from The Land. Mitchell almost smiled. "Well, don't want that. Thing is, though, Paul, this here's a dangerous-looking animal."

"Dangerous enough for me to reconsider?"

"Well, that's up to you. You the one hafta ride him."

I walked up to the grey and looked into his eyes. "I'll ride him," I decided right then for a fact. "I've got only my neck to lose and four times a rider's pay to gain."

Based on this dialogue, which statement best describes Paul?

He is an adventurer.
He is a risk-taker.
He is a complainer.
He is a worrier.
