The answer to this is C bc I says it in the first line
The two sentences in this excerpt that reflect the main character's uneasiness with his family history are:
1) The full contents of the chest never came quite clear, perhaps because he didn't want to know.
and
2) His mother had once tried to explain the paper to him, but he hadn't wanted to listen.
Both sentences show that the main character, as a child, is not interested in the chest and its contents, because to him the family heirloom represents death and decay, so his family history, which is locked in that chest, makes him uneasy. As the story progresses (and the character grows), his view of the chest changes and varies, until he understands its importance.
Answer: From seeing this question asked before quite recently, I can tell you that if it’s multiple choice it would be around the lines of “If you believe in and trust yourself, no one should be able to shake your confidence.” Hope this helps!
