Question

read the excerpt from Esperanza Rising. Isabel's eyes got bigger and she looked worried. "Esperanza, when I go to school next week, you will be here alone with the babies and will have to do the laundry." Esperanza took a deep breath and said weakly, "I can learn." "And later today, you must sweep the platform. You . . . you do know how to sweep?" "Of course," said Esperanza. She had seen people sweep many times. Many, many times, she assured herself. Besides, she was already too embarrassed about the washing to admit anything else to Isabel. This description shows Esperanza has which character trait? laziness persistence weakness hatred

Answer 1

The character trait persistence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though she doesn't know how to do many things, she still persists, and keeps going and doesn't give up. She is not lazy because she still offers to do the things Isabel tells her to do. There is definitely no hatred, and although there might seem to be weakness because she does not know how to do many things, that is not what the author is trying to convey.
