The following text is adapted from Anna Sewell’s 1877 novel Black Beauty, which is narrated from the point of view of a horse.Every one may not know what breaking in is, therefore I will describe it. It means to teach a horse to wear a saddle and bridle, and to carry on his back a man, woman or child; to go just the way they wish, and to go quietly. Besides this he has to learn to wear a collar, a crupper, and a breeching, and to stand still while they are put on; then to have a cart or a chaise fixed behind, so that he cannot walk or trot without dragging it after him; and he must go fast or slow, just as his driver wishes. He must never start at what he sees, nor speak to other horses, nor bite, nor kick, nor have any will of his own.Which choice best states the main idea of the text?Once a horse is broken in, it loses its free will.eliminateA horse mistrusts the person that breaks him in.eliminateBreaking in is a process mysterious to horses.eliminateBreaking in teaches horses not to talk to other horses.
