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.

How does Miep build suspense in this passage?


by telling events without revealing the outcome

by describing the specific details about the passing of time

by revealing the names of all the people involved

by explaining her thought process throughout the ordeal

Key Sentence

I continued to sit there, not knowing what was going on anywhere else in the building, too afraid to imagine what might be happening.

Answer

She explains her thought process throughout the ordeal.

Time helps to build suspense and it is likely the second best answer.

From this passage alone we don't know the significance of anyone's name.

We can't know whether the outcome was revealed later or not. You have to know something about Anne Frank to know.

Answer: D
