Question

Read the excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank. Mr. Frank. Now. About the noise. While the men are in the building below, we must have complete quiet. Every sound can be heard down there, not only in the workrooms, but in the offices, too. The men come at about eight-thirty, and leave at about five-thirty. So, to be perfectly safe, from eight in the morning until six in the evening we must move only when it is necessary, and then in stockinged feet. We must not speak above a whisper. We must not run any water. We cannot use the sink, or even, forgive me, the w.c. The pipes go down through the workrooms. It would be heard. Why must the Frank and Van Daan families most likely stay quiet during the day

Answer 1

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on edge.

Answer 2

They do not know whether they can trust the others who work in the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Diary of Anne Frank is a first-person’s account of a young girl named Anne Frank. The book contains her narrative of their life in the secret Annex, hiding from being captured by the Nazi Germans.

In the given excerpt from Mr. Frank's dialogue, we get to know that the need for silence during office hours is a must for the people in hiding. It was to ensure that they are not heard of by the office workers and thus, guarantee their safety. Mr. Frank told them not to make a sound beyond a whisper, and not to do anything that produces a sound or the workers may hear them. This need to be quiet during the day is because they do not know if they can trust the workers with their safety.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
