Question
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, "Help me pick up all Anne's writings.”
Based on this excerpt, what complete viewpoint could a prepared speaker share in a discussion?
Miep and Elli had to look through a lot of rubble and debris to find all of the pages of the diary.
Miep Gies’ determination to pick up all of Anne’s diary pages shows how dedicated to the Frank family she was.
Miep Gies should have realized that Anne and her family were not coming back to the attic.
I think Miep Gies already knew that the diary would someday be published and read by many people
