following sentences best describes what the play conveys about this event that the timelines do not convey?
A. Only the play points out that the Franks and their friends are discovered after the invasion takes place.
B. Only the play shows the emotional impact of the invasion on the Franks and their friends.
C. Only the play explains that the invasion meant that the war would likely soon be over.
D. Only the play explains that the invasion is key to the eventual Allied victory.

Answer 1

Answer: B. Only the play shows the emotional impact of the invasion on the Franks and their friends.

Explanation:

The timeline connects the historical events during World War II with the story of the Frank family while they were hiding. While the timeline describes the Allied invasion of Normandy as giving hope to those who lived under Nazi occupation, only Anne´s Diary describes in detail the emotional repercussions of the invasion on her family and friends. Throughout that whole month, Anne describes the hopeful conversation they had about the possibility of the war coming to an end.
