Hi, I assumed you are referring to the story, "The Diary of Anne Frank" by Anne Frank.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Interestingly, in the story, it is quite obvious that Anne seems to have a conservative personality, however, she also appears to be a playful and cheerful person.
Anne doesn't seem to have many friends, however, she became friends with her diary. This friendship strived so much so that she could detail interestingly the experience of her family. Her nice sense of humor also aided her in persevering through the hardships she faced despite been a young girl.
The correct answer is: Option A. Adopt the horses.
Given the context in the excerpt stating the individuals that would be "taking possession of the new horses" are official U.S. Marines, it can be inferred that this practice will take place within legal bounds, and therefore "stealing the horses" is out of context in this case. The intent of this activity is to use the horses as part of the Marines' activities, and as such, it is clear the Marines are planning to "adopt" the horses, not "borrow" them.
