Getting error when I try to build

I get "Error:(53) Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)" for the last line of the xml file: "</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>." I also have 5 other errors:

-Error:java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

-Error:com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

-Error:java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Error while executing process /Users/kate/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/26.0.0/aapt with arguments {package -f --no-crunch -I /Users/kate/Library/Android/sdk/platforms/android-26/android.jar -M /Users/kate/AndroidStudioProjects/InteractiveStory/app/build/intermediates/manifests/instant-run/debug/AndroidManifest.xml -S /Users/kate/AndroidStudioProjects/InteractiveStory/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug -m -J /Users/kate/AndroidStudioProjects/InteractiveStory/app/build/generated/source/r/debug -F /Users/kate/AndroidStudioProjects/InteractiveStory/app/build/intermediates/res/resources-debug.ap_ --debug-mode --custom-package com.katedoughertywriter.interactivestory -0 apk --preferred-density 420dpi --output-text-symbols /Users/kate/AndroidStudioProjects/InteractiveStory/app/build/intermediates/symbols/debug --no-version-vectors}

-Error:org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Users/kate/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/26.0.0/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I tried searching for updates in AS and did update, but it didn't help. I also enabled Tools | Android | Enable ADB Integration, but that didn't help either.

I don't know where the errors are coming from but I think it would be easier for you if you copied your code in stead so people that are experts could help you.
