How do Mr. Connolly's and Lily's opinions differ about
Margaret riding in the land race?
Lily is nervous about Margaret riding, but Mr. Connolly
thinks she is able to do it.
Lily is confident that Margaret can ride, but Mr. Connolly
disagrees because she is a girl.
Lily is against Margaret riding, but Mr. Connolly thinks
she should ride with her brother.
Lily is sure that Margaret can ride, but Mr. Connolly
disagrees because she is too young.

Lily is confident that Margaret can ride, but Mr. Connolly  disagrees because she is a girl.

Explanation:

From the given passage from "Demon's Run", we can know from the conversation between the characters that Margaret will be the one "who will race for a claim and then wait for the others". Mr. Connolly had presumed Benjamin will be the one, but rather, he was told that Margaret will be the runner.

When Mrs. Connolly exclaimed "Margaret?", we can infer that she was surprised to hear it'll be a girl who'll be the runner. Mr. Connolly's implication that "she can’t go riding out there with all those rough men" implies that he too finds it shocking to hear of a girl racing among the men. With Lily's confident assurance of Margaret being "the better rider", we can safely say that Lily's confidence in Margaret's ability is different from Mr. Connolly's belief that she can't as she's a girl.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
