Read the passage from Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl, then answer the questions below. "The atmosphere is stifling, sluggish, leaden. Outside, you don't hear a single bird, and a deathly, opressive silence
hangs over the house and clings to me as if it were going to drag me into the deepest regions of the underworld. At
