Question

Read the excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank. Mr. Frank. Now. About the noise. While the men are in the building below, we must have complete quiet. Every sound can be heard down there, not only in the workrooms, but in the offices, too. The men come at about eight-thirty, and leave at about five-thirty.

Explanation:

The Diary of Anne Frank is a first-person’s account of a young girl named Anne Frank. The book contains her narrative of their life in the secret Annex, hiding from being captured by the Nazi Germans.

It was to ensure that they are not heard of by the office workers and thus, guarantee their safety. Mr. Frank told them not to make a sound beyond a whisper, and not to do anything that produces a sound or the workers may hear them.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
