Answer 1

Answer with Explanation:

The audience sees Mr. Frank looking weak. This gives insight on the audience about his age, as it has been narrated, "He is gentle, cultured European in his middle years." The audience also sees a cluttered and dusty place, which seems like it was meant to be abandoned, as it has been narrated, "The rooms are dusty, the curtains in rags; Chairs and tables are overturned." Chairs and tables are normally overturned when nobody is using them. The audience also see Mr. Frank carrying a "rucksack," which means he is going somewhere as it has been narrated ,"As he starts back for his rucksack..." His moving restlessly shows that he is sad. It is even reinforced when he broke down and cried when he saw a woman's white glove as it has been narrated ,"He breaks down, crying." There must be something special about the white gloves that made him cry. The audience also sees Miep and this gives them a clue that she's young as it has been narrated that "She is pregnant" and she's seen to have a big belly.
