This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Read the excerpt from The Land:
Willie Thomas hauled off and slapped Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand. "Don't ya get smart wit' me!" Mitchell turned his head at the impact, but he didn't fall back. It was as if he had already braced himself for the attack. "You done had somethin' t' do wit' this here stallion bein' cut up, I knows it!" Willie raved on. "You had somethin' t' do wit' it, I gets the blame, and I lose my good job! Tell me what ya done!"
Willie’s motivation would best be called extrinsic because he is:
A) worried about losing his job.
B) angry that he cannot control the situation.
C) anxious about failing at his job.
D) worried about ruining his reputation.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) worried about losing his job.
Explanation:
In this excerpt we can see that Willie's extrinsic motivation is that he is afraid of losing his job. This extrinsic motivation involves something external, that is, it does not come from a person: in this case it would be that he could lose his job because of the state of Ghost Wind.
He will be at fault, and that is what leads him to slap Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
