Read the following excerpt from "Woman Who Helped Hide Anne Frank Dies at 100" by Teri Schultz.

TERI SCHULTZ: Miep Gies said she did not like being called a hero. Yet, she risked her life many times over to help the Frank family during the two years they hid from the Nazis in a secret annex built into the Trading Company office in Amsterdam where she'd worked for Otto Frank almost a decade.
Providing refuge to Jews, she noted later, carried a punishment of at least six months in a concentration camp. Still, the Austrian-born Dutch woman, knighted by the governments of Germany and the Netherlands, recipient of a medal from Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, always insisted she had done nothing extraordinary.

Which detail is most important to include in a summary of the excerpt?

Miep Gies did not like being called a hero.
She risked her life to help the Franks.
Providing refuge to Jews carried a punishment.
She was knighted by two governments.
