Answer 1

The option that offers the best summary is B. Anne explains that Mother and Mrs. Van Dann speak horrible Dutch, but when she quotes them, she will write it properly.

Anne is talking in the text about how bad these two women speak Dutch, they have gave them feedback about it, but nothing changes. So, everytime she has to cite one of these women, she prefers to write proper Dutch that replicate what they said.
