Answer with Explanation:
The audience sees Mr. Frank<em> looking weak</em>. This gives insight on the audience about his age, as it has been narrated,<u><em> "He is gentle, cultured European in his middle years.</em></u>" The audience also sees a cluttered and dusty place, which seems like<em> it was meant to be abandoned</em>, as it has been narrated<em>,</em><u><em> "The rooms are dusty, the curtains in rag</em></u><em>s; Chairs and tables are overturned." </em>Chairs and tables are normally overturned <em>when nobody is using them. </em>The audience also see Mr. Frank carrying a <em>"rucksack,"</em> which means he is going somewhere as it has been narrated ,<u><em>"As he starts back for his rucksack..."</em></u> His moving restlessly shows that he is sad. It is even reinforced when he broke down and cried when he saw<em> a woman's white glove</em> as it has been narrated <u><em>,"He breaks down, crying."</em></u> 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<u><em> "She is pregnant"</em></u> and she's seen to have a big belly.
A personal problem is one that only relates to ones self
If your options are: A) One day I had said that Italian seemed such an easy language to me that I could not take a great interest in it; everything was so easy to say. "Ah, yes," the major said. B) The girls at the Cova were very patriotic, and I found that the most patriotic people in Italy were the café girls—and I believe they are still patriotic. C) We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital. D) It was warm, standing in front of her charcoal fire, and the chestnuts were warm afterward in your pocket. E) <span>The major, who had been a great fencer, did not believe in bravery, and spent much time while we sat in the machines correcting my grammar.
The correct answer is A, in my opinion. It doesn't talk about apathy (the loss of interest and psychological indifference to everything). It shows apathy in a dialogue between two people, thus proving that apathy has infused every single aspect of the soldiers' lives in Milan. The major's short answer "Ah, yes" also shows it. The two people talk about their lack of interest for Italian, and they are not even interested in this talk that they have.</span>
