How did Anne’s diary survive? Why was it published?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Anne's diary survived through Miep Gies, she was one of the people that helped everyone hidden in the secret annex, and kept Anne's writings safe in a drawer. Not only the diary, but also the revisions. Miep gave the diary to Otto, (Annes father) Otto was fascinated with all of Anne's writings so he had the diary typed up, and looked for a publisher. Eventually one of Ottos friends showed the diary to a historian, who ended up writing a front page article on it. This gained much attention, and thus, Anne Franks diary was soon published!

The tenor, mode, and field
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Expressive

Explanation:

The tenor, mode, and field of discourse are three parameters related to the meaning "EXPRESSIVE."

The above statement is true because all the three attributes of discourse, when combined, allow people to express themselves effectively. The three attributes are expressive in the sense that they define entirely the situational context of the message that is being passed in clear terms whether spoken or written.
