Explanation:

To determine Anne's perspective on what is most valuable, we analyze each option:

• "I stuck the craziest things in the bag" describes her packing action, not her values.
• "Preoccupied by the thought of going into hiding" explains her state of mind, not her values.
• "Margot and I started packing" is about the action of packing, not values.
• "Memories mean more to me than dresses" directly states that memories (representing intangible, meaningful things) are more valuable than material items like dresses, clearly conveying her perspective.

Answer:

D. "Memories mean more to me than dresses."
