Answer: D To illustrate the apprehension and danger that the agents face.
Explanation:
This is based on the essay, "The Price of Freedom" by Noreen Riols. In it we learn about British agents who had to infiltrate France during the second world war. We also learn about radio operators and their short life expectancy of 6 weeks once they embark on their mission.
The essay told the story of a Jewish radio operator who as a Jew, faced even more danger in Nazi occupied Europe. The purpose of this was to show that the agents faced much danger when inflitrating France.
"Suddenly the evidence overwhelmed me: there was no longer any reason to live, any reason to fight" and "Father! Father! Wake up. They're going to throw you outside."
