Question

Which statement best compares the people in the Secret Annexe with their helpers in Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl?

Answer 1

Answer:

The people of the Secret Annexe often complain, but the helpers are quiet about their hardships.

Explanation:

Anne Frank's "The Diary of A Young Girl" provides a rare insight into how the Jews were treated during the Nazi regime under Hitler. This short memoir presents the life of Anne Frank and her family, including the Van Daans during their hide-out.

One best comparison between the Franks-Van Daans who are hiding in the Secret Annexe and the ones helping them survive (Miep and Jan, among others) is that the residents of the Secret Annexe would complain at times while the helpers remained quiet and supportive of what their work entails. The complaints from the Secret Annexe residents mostly came from the Van Daans, though at times the Franks also did it. On the other hand, Miep and Jan never wavered in their need and want to help the residents in making sure they get enough supplies to survive and not be discovered by any spies or Gestapo.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
