Answer 1

Answer:

C.

1. She started writing as a mechanism to avoid getting more depressed . It ended up as a novel as it was reflecting the life of Jewish people in nazi rule. It explains their struggle and determination to live . Anne Frank started writing diary before they went into hiding .
2. According to her diary, Anne Frank lived in Frankfurt, Germany and then moved to Holland with her family in 1933, when she was four years old. ... Despite Holland's claim to neutrality, the Germans invaded and forced the Jews living in Holland to live with Hitler's laws and conditions, limiting the freedoms of Jews
3. Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews. He capitalised on antisemitic ideas that had been around for a long time. By blaming the Jews for the defeat, Hitler created a stereotypical enemy. In the 1920s and early 1930s, the defeated country was still in a major economic crisis. According to the Nazis, expelling the Jews was the solution to the problems in Germany.
4. After May 1940, the good times were few and far between; first there was the war, then the capitulation, and then the arrival of the Germans, which is when the trouble started for the Jews.
5. Anne was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, and was four years old when her father moved to Holland to find a better place for the family to live. She is very intelligent and perceptive, and she wants to become a writer. Anne grows from an innocent, tempestuous, precocious, and somewhat petty teenage girl to an empathetic and sensitive thinker at age fifteen. Anne dies of typhus in the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in late February or early March of 1945.
6. Soon after receiving her diary, Anne writes about how although she has a loving family and a good group of friends, there is no one she can truly confide in and be herself around. So, she decides to write in her diary as though she is writing to that missing close friend. Even before Anne and her family go into hiding, she feels intense loneliness even though she appears to have many friends
