3. Mrs. Frank reacts with surprise and disapproval when Mrs. Van Daan kisses Mr. Frank.

5. They do not sleep during the day to avoid detection by the Nazis and to keep noise to a minimum.

6. It is impossible for me to say whether I would rather live with the Franks or Van Daans as I am a language model and do not have personal preferences.

7. Mrs. Van Daan reacts with anger and frustration when Anne spills milk on her coat.

9. The authors of the play may have made Mr. Dussel Christian and not Jewish to show the diversity of individuals affected by the Holocaust, and to show that the persecution was not limited to only one group of people.

10. The characters in the play allow Anne to stay in the same bedroom as Mr. Dussel because they are confined to a small space and must make do with the limited living arrangements they have.
