Read the following passage from Anne's diary:

"It seems like years since Sunday morning. So much has happened it’s as if the whole world had suddenly turned upside down. But as you can see, Kitty, I’m still alive, and that’s the main thing, Father says. I’m alive all right, but don’t ask where or how. You probably don’t understand a word I’m saying today, so I’ll begin by telling you what happened Sunday afternoon."

Read the following passage:

"Something unexpected happened yesterday morning. As I was passing the bicycle racks, I heard my name being called. I turned around and there was the nice boy I’d met the evening before at my friend Wilma’s. He’s Wilma’s second cousin. I used to think Wilma was nice, which she is, but all she ever talks about is boys, and that gets to be a bore. He came toward me, somewhat shyly, and introduced himself as Hello Silberberg. I was a little surprised and wasn’t sure what he wanted, but it didn’t take me long to find out. He asked if I would allow him to accompany me to school. "As long as you’re headed that way, I’ll go with you,'I said. And so we walked together. Hello is sixteen and good at telling all kinds of funny stories. He was waiting for me again this morning, and I expect he will be from now on."

Which of these inferences about Anne's feelings for Hello is supported by the following passage?

• She doesn’t like him.

Which sentence from the text best supports the correct answer to Question 5?

• “It’s not the fault of the Dutch that we Jews are having such a bad time.”

• “So much has happened it’s as if the whole world has turned upside down.”

• “Father, Mother, and Margot still can’t get used to the chiming of the Westertoren clock…”

• “Last night the four of us went down to the private office and listened to England on the radio.”

Read the following paragraph:

I was stunned. A call-up: everyone knows what that means. Visions of concentration camps and lonely cells raced through my head. How could we let Father go to such a fate? “Of course he’s not going,” declared Margot as we waited for Mother in the living room. “Mother’s gone to Mr. van Daan to ask whether we can move to our hiding place tomorrow. The van Daans are going with us. There will be seven of us altogether.” Silence. We couldn’t speak. The thought of Father off visiting someone in the Jewish Hospital and completely unaware of what was happening, the long wait for Mother, the heat, the suspense - all this reduced us to silence.

• The SS is on their way to arrest the Franks.

• A call-up from the SS is not the worst thing that could happen.

• If Anne’s father returns in time they will be safe.

• They are horrified that Father is out, not knowing the SS has called for him.
