Read the following excerpt from anne frank remembered by miep gies. then i walked into mr. and mrs. frank's bedroom. on the floor, amidst the chaos of papers and books, my eye lit on the little red-orange checkered, cloth-bound diary that anne had received from her father on her thirteenth birthday. i pointed it out to elli. obeying my gesture, she leaned down and picked it up for me, putting it into my hands. i remembered how happy anne had been to receive this little book to write her private thoughts in. i knew how precious her diary was to anne. my eyes scanned the rubble for more of anne's writings, and i saw the old accounting books and many more writing papers that elli and i had given to her when she had run out of pages in the checkered diary. elli was still very scared, and looked to me for direction. i told elli, " me pick up all anne's writings.” based on this excerpt, what complete viewpoint could a prepared speaker share in a discussion? a.) miep and elli had to look through a lot of rubble and debris to find all of the pages of the diary. b.) miep gies’ determination to pick up all of anne’s diary pages shows how dedicated to the frank family she was. c.) miep gies should have realized that anne and her family were not coming back to the attic. d.) i think miep gies already knew that the diary would someday be published and read by many people.

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
