Question

Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl. We started off immediately the first day sewing curtains. Actually, you can hardly call them that, since they're nothing but scraps of fabric, varying greatly in shape, quality and pattern, which Father and I stitched crookedly together with unskilled fingers. These works of art were tacked to the windows, where they'll stay until we come out of hiding. Which portion of the excerpt best supports the idea that Anne has a sense of humor?

A. "where they'll stay until we come out of hiding"
B. "which Father and I stitched crookedly together with unskilled fingers"
C. "These works of art were tacked to the windows"
D. "We started off immediately the first day sewing curtains"

Answer 1

C). "These works of art were tacked to the windows".

Step-by-step explanation:

Humor is the literary device that is employed either to evoke laughter among the audience with an an aim to amuse them or to satirize a specific social or political issue.

In the given excerpt, option C displays the portion that validates the idea that Anne has a sense of humor as the use of words evoke amusement in order to offer an escape from the continuity. It induces laughter as the works of art created by her is described as 'where they'll stay until we come out of hiding' that gives a comic element to it. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Answer 2

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne Frank was a teenage girl who went to hiding with her parents in Secret Annex on 6th July 1942. This was the time when Adolf Hitler was in rule.

Being a teenage girl, Anne had a good sense of humor which we can witness in her "The Diary of a Young Girl". Anne had a habit of writing a diary. Even when she was in hiding she used to write. In her diary, she used to share emotions which she was not able to share with anyone else.

She time on time had shared the incidents of annex in her diary in a humorous manner.

The option which supports the idea of her having a good sense of humor is option C because she is describing how they sewed curtains for their windows so that no one can peek inside.

Humorously she is calling it a work of art.

So, the correct option is C.
