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?

B. He is determined to find the treasure.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from Between the Silver and the Ash, we are introduced to a part of the conversation between two friends Kenneth and Xavier. The impression that we can get from it is that Xavier is a person who easily gets interested in something new, leaving the previous forsaken. Knowing that his grandma wanted her special gift to him not only be the gift itself but a valuable lesson about persistence too. So, she left him a lot of traces that need a fair amount of time to be followed on the path to finding the gift, and Xavier is aware of that and determined to go till the end this time.

325to have me filch it?

give ’t me again. poor lady, she’ll run mad

when she shall lack it.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

othello enters.

    i did say so.

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello

    ha! ha! false to me?

othello

argh! she’s cheating on me?

iago

iago

oh, general, , no more of that!
