There were eight people living in the house; they were completely dependent on six helpers which provided food and clothing, magazines and newspapers.
Edith Frank
She is an excellent mother, she always puts her children above all else. She has a difficult relationship with Anne, but feels comfort in knowing that Anne has a strong one with Otto.
Otto Frank
He feels responsible for the atmosphere in the Secret Annex and mediated every single argument. He is the peacemaker, the calm one.
Margot Frank
She is very quiet and withdrawn. She is a very lonely girl and share very little about her feelings.
Anne Frank
There are two personalities inside of her; one is superficial and funny, and the other one is serious. When she is surrounded by people, she is definitely the first one. They both love writing.
Hermann Van Pels
He is a joker, but he also gets very grumpy. He knows a lot about politics and he is always optimistic.
Auguste Van Pels
She is the housewife in the Secret Annex, she cooks for everyone and always tries her best. She has many rows with her husband and screams a lot, but short after it comes the reconciliation period.
Peter Van Pels
He is the only one that has his own room. He spends a lot of time lazing around on his bed or doing carpentry. He always seems disinterested.
Fritz Pfeffer
He is a dentist and he also studied medicine. He has his instrument in the house and helps everyone when needed.
Let's look at lines 17-19 again:
<span>17. Its letters, although naturally lying
18. Like the knight Pinto-Mendez Ferdinando-
19. Still form a synonym for Truth-Cease trying!
The crucial word here is "like" - it means that the letters are "like" - compared to the knight. A direct comparison such as this one is a Simile - this is the correct answer.
A metaphor is similar to a simile in that it treats something as if it was another thing, but it does not include a direct comparison.
