Question

He looked about eagerly for the gold. He looked under the bed. It wasn’t there. He looked in the cupboard. It wasn’t there, either. Where could it be? Close to despair, Juan tore away some beams supporting the thatch roof.

Finally, he gave up. There was simply no gold in the hut.

All I can do, he thought, is to find the old woman and make her tell me where she’s hidden it.

What do these details reveal about Juan?

Juan is a violent person.

He refuses to accept defeat.

He is uncomfortable as a thief.

Juan behaves cautiously.

Answer 1

B. He refuses to accept defeat

Step-by-step explanation:

If Juan is trying so hard, it must mean he really wants what he is looking for and won't stop till he finds it. Even if it isn't in that place at all.

I hope this helps :))
