The Black moved restlessly beside him. Alec looked at him, then at his parents. “He’s mine,” he said proudly.
“I was afraid of that,” said his father. His mother was too astonished to say anything. He saw his dad’s eyes going over the stallion. He had done a lot of riding in his day and it was from him that Alec, even as a small child, had learned to love horses. He said nothing, but Alec could tell that he was admiring the Black.
“I’ll tell you the whole story later. I owe my life to him.”
Based on the excerpt from "The Black Stallion," how does the narrator's description of the horse influence the reader's understanding of Alec’s feelings?
By showing Alec’s fear of the horse
By highlighting Alec’s admiration for the horse
By explaining Alec’s confusion about the horse
By describing the horse's physical appearance only

What are you going to do with him, now that you’ve got him?” asked his father.
“I don’t know, Dad, but I do know where I can keep him!” The words poured out of his mouth. He knew that he must convince his parents right now, once and for all, that the Black must be his—for keeps.
“There’s that old barn in the old Halleran place up the street where the Daileys are living now. I’m sure they’d let me keep him there for almost nothing, and he’d have a whole acre of ground to graze in! I’ll work, Dad, after school, to make money to pay for his feed. Let me keep him, won’t you?”
In the second excerpt from "The Black Stallion," how does Alec’s interaction with his parents help convey his feelings about keeping the horse?
It shows his parents’ disapproval
It reveals his pride and determination
It indicates his indifference towards the horse
It demonstrates his fear of losing the horse
