Read the excerpt from Between the Silver and the Ash.

KENNETH

But if she found it . . .

XAVIER

She put something else there. Just for me. She died last year, you know. She put something in the hiding place for me before she died. I've been following her clues for a year. This is the last one.

KENNETH

Why didn't she just give it to you? Whatever it is?

XAVIER

She said I needed to learn persistence. I always gave up on things. So she hid her gift in the forest so I would learn to persevere.

KENNETH

Well, it doesn't look like you're going to get it, no matter what.

Which is the best description of Xavier, based on this excerpt?

Answer: Based on this excerpt, I think Xavier does not persevere enough. His sister hid the mysterious item in the forest so he can learn to persevere. But then she passed away, and she never got a chance to reveal the item. Xavier should've learn to try harder and never give up.

Hope this helps you!
