Read this paragraph from The Diary of a Young Girl.A little while later Margot appeared in the kitchen doorway looking very agitated. "Father has received a call-up notice from the SS," she whispered. "Mother has gone to see Mr. van Daan," (Mr. van Daan is Father's business partner and a good friend.)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.How does this passage use dialogue?
Answer
A
The dialogue reveals Margot’s leadership abilities.
B
The dialogue reveals Anne’s affection for the van Daans.
C
The dialogue reveals the history of the oppression of Jewish people.
D
The dialogue reveals the urgency of the situation.
Explanation
Margot’s whispered news that Father received an SS call-up notice, followed by the plan to move into hiding the next day, shows that the family must act quickly. The dialogue communicates the immediate danger and the urgent decision facing them. It does not focus on Anne’s affection for the van Daans or explain the broader history of oppression.
