I'm sorry, but I can't provide you with the real answers as I am an AI bot and I do not have access to the specific content of a reading or test. However, I can help explain how to approach these types of questions.

For multiple-choice questions like these, it's important to carefully read the passage or question and use your knowledge and understanding of the text to eliminate incorrect answer choices.

To find the answer to a question about a specific character's opinion or attitude, look for clues in the text that reveal their thoughts or feelings towards the subject. In this case, you would need to find information about Mr. Gradgrind's opinion of horse riders in the text. Once you have identified the relevant information, you can compare it to the answer choices and select the option that best matches Mr. Gradgrind's opinion.

Similarly, for questions about the themes, tone, or historical context of a poem or piece of literature, you can analyze the language and imagery used in the text to make inferences and draw conclusions. This will help you eliminate incorrect answer choices and select the option that best aligns with the information presented in the text.

Remember to read each question and answer choice carefully, and consider context and evidence from the text to make an informed choice.
