Question

Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl. When she and I were sitting in our bedroom, Margot told me that the call-up was not for Father, but for her. At this second shock, I began to cry. Margot is sixteen – apparently they want to send girls her age away on their own. But thank goodness she won't be going; Mother had said so herself, which must be what Father had meant when he talked to me about our going into hiding. Hiding . . . Where would we hide? In the city? In the country? In a house? In a shack? When, where, how . . . ? These were questions I wasn't allowed to ask, but they still kept running through my mind. Based on this excerpt, what is Anne's perspective on going into hiding? She is confused about why the family needs to hide. She is certain that hiding is the safest option. She is fearful that the family will be found in hiding. She is curious about how and where they will hide.

D. She is curious about how and where they will hide.

Explanation:

"The Diary of a Young Girl" is also known as "The Diary of Anne Frank". Anne wrote this journal that became one of the most famous memoirs concerning the Holocaust in Europe. Anne's family had to live in hiding to avoid being caught and taken by the Nazi.

In the particular excerpt we are studying here, Anne has been told she and her family will need to hide. She does not question that fact. Anne accepts the need to go into hiding. What she is doing is asking herself how that is going to take place. She doesn't seem capable of imagining where they would go, how they would live, etc. She did not, however, ask those questions out loud - they simply ran through her mind, worrying her.
