Question

Read these stage directions from The Diary of Anne Frank, Act I: *25 POINTS*
We dimly see Mr. Van Daan. He is getting his bearings. He comes quickly down the stairs, and goes to the cupboard where the food is stored. Again the match flares up, and is as quickly blown out. The dim figure is seen to steal back up the stairs.
As described in the stage directions and from what you've learned about Mr. Van Daan, which sentence best explains his behavior and what it reveals about him?
A.He is looking at the prices of the foods, which shows that he is thrifty and prudent.
B.He is getting a snack for his wife, which shows that he is kind and considerate.
C.He is sneaking food for himself, which shows that he is greedy and selfish.

Answer 1

Answer:

C.He is sneaking food for himself, which shows that he is greedy and selfish.

Explanation:

If you were to read Anne Frank, you'd know by Mr. Van Daan's situtation that he's not being greedy from this action. However, if you didn't have background information, you could tell by the text that he's being sneaky thereby giving the impression that he's greedy and selfish.

The better answer may be B, as he is a very considerate man and probably wouldn't sneak food for himself.
