Which excerpt from The Land, Part 4 is an example of direct characterization of Paul?

1.I asked him if Mitchell could go with us. "He's right good with horses now," I said. "He's gentle with them, and they trust him.”

2."No," I said. "No, I won't be here, not here on my daddy's land. One day I'll have land of my own. I've got to have something all my own."

3.Afterward the Missourian congratulated my daddy and paid him the wager. Other people came around and said Starburst was a mighty fine horse and that I was a fine rider too.

4.“But I still have to say no. I don't want this boy or the horse getting hurt. Like I said, my boy rides only horses he knows. I thank you, sir, though, for the offer."

the answer is #3 .
