Question

1. in this line from act ii, why does mrs. frank call the other people her \guests\?

she and mr. frank are offering cognac to the others.
the franks were the first to arrive in the attic.
mr. frank made the attic rooms available to the van daans.
she and mr. frank are the ones who have been buying all the food.

Explanation:

To determine why Mrs. Frank calls the others "guests", we analyze the options:

• Option 1: Offering cognac is a minor action, not the reason for the term "guests". Eliminate.
• Option 2: Arriving first doesn't inherently make others guests. Eliminate.
• Option 3: Mr. Frank providing the attic rooms (his space) to the Van Daans (and others) means the Franks are hosting, so the others are guests. This fits.
• Option 4: Buying food relates to provision but not the "guest" dynamic of hosting space. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. Mr. Frank made the attic rooms available to the Van Daans.
