Question 3 of 10 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 B-IC
Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.Suddenly, what had been familiar about this man's voice clicked in my mind. He was speaking German with a distinct Viennese accent. He spoke exactly like all my relatives, the ones I had left so many years ago.This man came back into my office, but his tone was changing, and I could see that he no longer regarded me as an innocent. Obviously, he had figured out that I was also part of what had been secret. He came in and stood over me, saying, in a harsh voice, "Now it's your turn." He reached down and took the keys that Koophuis had given me.I stood up, coming face to face with this man. I could feel his hot breath, we were standing so close. I looked him right in the eye and said in German, "You are Viennese. I am from Vienna too."What is Miep’s motivation in this excerpt?
