Read this part of one of Anne’s speeches in The Diary of Anne Frank, Act I. The best part about this room . . . you can look down and see a bit of the street and the canal. There’s a houseboat . . . you can see the end of it . . . a bargeman lives there with his family. . . .They have a baby and he’s just beginning to walk and I’m so afraid he’ll fall into the canal. I watch him. . . .

What is the most reasonable inference to draw about Anne’s personality from the details in this speech?

A. She is foolish because she has established communications with outsiders in spite of being warned of the danger.
B. She is nosy because she keeps an eye on the baby even though she does not know the bargeman and his wife.
C. She is resourceful because she finds outside interests that take her mind off having to live in fear of the Nazis.
D. She is naive because she thinks only good things about the people she sees and knows.

In the following conversation, which group discussion technique does emily most clearly show?

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
