Question

read the excerpt from the diary of a young girl. all day long we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards, hammered nails and straightened up the mess, until we fell exhausted into our clean beds at night. we hadnt eaten a hot meal all day, but we didnt care; mother and margot were too tired and keyed up to eat, and father and i were too busy. tuesday morning we started where we left off the night before. bep and miep went grocery shopping with our ration coupons. father worked on our blackout screens, we scrubbed the kitchen floor, and were once again busy from sunup to sundown. until wednesday, i didnt have a chance to think about the enormous change in my life. then for the first time since our arrival in the secret annex, i found a moment to tell you all about it and to realize what had happened to me and what was yet to happen. which detail from the excerpt best supports the idea that anne’s voice is determined and hardworking? “mother and margot were too tired and keyed up to eat” “i found a moment to tell you all about it” “all day long we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards” “father worked on our blackout screens”

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports Anne's determined and hardworking voice, we analyze each option:

• "Mother and Margot were too tired and keyed up to eat": Describes Mother and Margot, not Anne's actions. Eliminate.
• "I found a moment to tell you all about it": Shows reflection, not hard work. Eliminate.
• "All day long we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards": Describes Anne (included in "we") working intensely all day, showing determination and hard work.
• "Father worked on our blackout screens": Describes Father's action, not Anne's. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. "All day long we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards"
