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 did have somethin' t' do wit' this here stallion bein' cut up, I know it!" Willie raved on. "You had somethin' t' do wit' it, I get the blame, and I lose my good job! Tell me what ya did!"

Willie’s motivation would best be called extrinsic because he is

worried about losing his job.
angry that he cannot control the situation.
anxious about failing at his job.
worried about ruining his reputation.
