Which excerpt from Number the Stars best supports the belief that Peter was unhappy?

• He no longer sang the nonsense songs that had once made Annemarie and Kirsti shriek with laughter.

• Annemarie listened, and she knew what her mother was referring to. De Fri Danske-The Free Danes-was an illegal newspaper; Peter Neilsen brought it to them occasionally, carefully folded and hidden among ordinary books and papers, and Mama always burned it after she and Papa had read it.

• Lise was a grown up girl of eighteen, then, about to be married to Peter Neilsen.

• Redheaded Peter, her sister's fiancé, had not married anyone in the years since Lise's death.
