It’s all right. It's all right." The stallion pulled back at first. I kept talking, and he finally allowed me to touch him. He whinnied just a bit, and I patted him gingerly, trying to make him know me; then, when he was still, I took a closer look at his leg.

Answer 2

Based on the excerpt about the actions of Paul towards the horse, we can infer that the word that best describes him is gentle.

Why does this describe Paul?

Paul can be said to be gentle because of the way he approached the horse and got it to calm down.

He used gentle words accompanied by gentle gestures such as extending his hands slowly until the horse allowed him to come close. He could only have accomplished this if he was gentle.

Note: Paul was gentle but variants of this question might have gentle at another option instead of option A.
