Question

1. anne says she believes that \in spite of everything... people are really good at heart.\ what effect does this attitude have on the ending of the play?

it softens the end because anne has been able to confide in peter.

it adds suspense because the reader knows how anne feels.

it puts off the ending so we can imagine life through anne’s eyes.

it makes the end even more moving because anne is betrayed.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• First option: Confiding in Peter doesn't relate to softening the end via her belief.
• Second option: Her positive belief doesn't add suspense (suspense is about uncertainty, not knowing her feelings).
• Third option: The belief doesn't "put off" the ending to imagine life through her eyes.
• Fourth option: Anne's belief in people's goodness contrasts with her betrayal (being caught), making the tragic end more moving as her optimism is shattered.

Answer:

D. It makes the end even more moving because Anne is betrayed.
