Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence best communicates the author's message that the Berlin Wall made citizens feel afraid?
Inge's Wall (excerpt)
One morning when Klaus Schubert was 11 years old, he passed cement trucks and workers unloading steel rods and barbed wire as he walked
to school. He returned hours later to find his view of the buildings, greenery, and other things he had seen earlier swallowed up by the
sour-smeling cement and the snarling barbed wire. And worse, the people he had known were gone--friends and family alike. The government
had said the wall was for the protection of the people on Klaus's side. But what had there been to fear?
That unanswered question became both an oppressive shroud over Klaus's childhood and a sinister playmate, as he often let his mind wander,
imagining horrors or enemies that must have been so great that only such a great, grey, stone wall could keep them out. Then, Klaus grew into
manhood, and he began to view the wall through another lens, it became an oppressor that the people in the east dared not question or appear
to challenge in any way.
The wall was just a few feet from the home Inge shared with her parents. Aside from her school and other crumbling buildings in their
neighborhood, their world was a few rooms in a dull, gray concrete flat with no yard and no trees. The wall was part of the view from the only
windows they had, and Inge was drawn to the sounds she often heard from the other side-laughter, shouting, music, and the noise of busy
traffic
