Question

In Anne Frank's diary, how does Edith Frank draw a distinction between Mrs. Van Daan and her son, Peter?

A. She describes Peter as being rather foolish, while Mrs. Van Daan is quite smart and logical.
B. She observes that Peter is much more modest and timid than his mother.
C. She notes that Peter looks nothing like his mother.
D. She states that Peter is quite funny and outgoing, while Mrs. Van Daan is
quiet and reserved.

Answer 1

B. She observes that Peter is much more modest and timid than his mother.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne sees Peter first as gross, lazy and hypersensitive, and later becomes close friends. Peter's quiet, shy and honest to Anne, but he doesn't share her strong beliefs. Anne and Peter grow a Romantic attraction during their time in the Annex, which is discouraged by Mr. Frank. Peter, Anne's first kiss, is her one trustee and in the annex, a source of affection and care.
