Analyze the theme

The theme is that wartime can bring out the worst in people, which requires looking for an event showing greed, betrayal, or extreme selfishness over human life.

Evaluate the options

• Option 1: Mr. Frank is generally portrayed as kind and gentle, not cruel.
• Option 2: A man blackmailing the residents of the Annex (trading safety for money) directly demonstrates extreme greed and betrayal of human life during war.
• Option 3: Mrs. Van Daan's attachment to her coat is vain, but does not represent the "worst in people" compared to blackmail.
• Option 4: Miep and Mr. Kraler are heroic helpers, representing the best in people.

Select the best fit

The action of the man in the storeroom blackmailing them for money in exchange for keeping their hiding place a secret best supports the theme.
