Question

in the following passage, the narrator is a horse. select the best evidence to support the statement that the narrator is grateful for his training.
i must not forget to mention one part of my training...
i shall never forget the first train that ran by...i thought it very dreadful, but the cows went on eating very quietly, and hardly raised their heads as the black frightful thing came puffing and grinding past.
for the first few days i could not feed in peace; but... i began to disregard it, and very soon i cared as little about the passing of a train as the cows and sheep did.
since then i have seen many horses much alarmed and restive at the sight or sound of a steam engine; but thanks to my good master’s care, i am as fearless at railway stations as in my own stable.

Explanation:

To support the statement that the horse - narrator is grateful for its training, we look for text that shows appreciation for the training. The sentence "but thanks to my good master’s care, I am as fearless at railway stations as in my own stable" directly expresses gratitude (through "thanks to my good master’s care") and shows the positive outcome of the training (being fearless at railway stations), which is evidence of gratitude for the training. Other parts of the passage describe the training experience or getting used to the train but not the gratitude.

Answer:

"but thanks to my good master’s care, I am as fearless at railway stations as in my own stable"
