Answer 2

A.) She describes her mother as being uncaring and too critical of her, while her father is kind and supportive of Anne.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between Anne and her mother was problematic. Their personalities were incompatible, and they often clashed. But they could not avoid each other in the Secret Annex. In her diary, Anne had often written harshly about her mother.

Anne sees her father, Otto Frank, as a kindred spirit. Like Anne, Otto is a perpetual student, inhaling books, history, and news, and he encourages these interests in Anne. Also like Anne, he is a clown, frequently trying to amuse those around him and lighten up the mood of the Annex.
