Then I walked into Mr. and Mrs. Frank's bedroom. On the floor, amidst the chaos of papers and books, my eye lit on the little red-orange checkered, cloth-bound diary that Anne had received from her father on her thirteenth birthday. She loves Anne and respects her work.

I hope this helps you.

Answer:

The correct answer is A.by telling events without revealing the outcome.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions refers to the following excerpt:

"Jo Koophuis and I remained seated as we'd been ordered for perhaps three-quarters of an hour. Then another man came through the door into our room and called to Koophuis to come inside with him, and they went into Mr. Kraler's office. I continued to sit there, not knowing what was going on anywhere else in the building, too afraid to imagine what might be happening."

This passage belongs to Anne Frank Remembered, a book by Alison Leslie Gold and Miep Geis, this last one helped Anne and her family and other people to hide during the Nazi regime in the Netherlands during World War II. In the passage, Miep describe the events (the man that came into Mr. Kralers's office, she sitting there) but there is no outcome yet, so this excerpt contributes to create tension.
