I believe that the answer is D.
Please mark as brainliest; have a blessed day!
The personification is: “deathly oppressive silence hangs over the house and clings to me as if it were going to drag me into the deepest regions of the underworld”
The extended metaphor is the line from “I wonder from room to room” to “a voice within me cries”, so the last 7 lines (sorry I didn’t feel like writing the quote out).
Anne is forced to stay in the house/attic every day to avoid being discovered. The attic itself is cramped and stuffy, especially with the 8 other people living there. She feels like a caged animal (a caged songbird in this case) because she is never allowed into the outside world.
Why would everyone be concerned about Anne's nightmare?
D. Because they do not want to be discovered.
The reaction the others have is to silence Anne because her screams “are endangering all our lives”, as Dussel comments. Mr. Frank as well was alerted by the sound and tries to calm down Anne, he wants her to “lie quietly”.
