Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.

That day I walked to Gestapo headquarters. The red-and-black swastika flew from the flagpole. Uniformed Germans were everywhere. It was a well-known fact that people who entered this building did not always leave it again. I entered the building and inquired of the soldiers on guard where this Austrian had his office.

I was told which office, and went directly there. It was a medium-sized room, filled with desks, all occupied by workers who were busily typing. The Austrian's desk was in the corner of the room. He sat behind it facing me when I entered. His name was Karl Silberbauer.

I went up to his desk and stood with my back to the typists. I'd been thrown off by the fact that he wasn't alone, so all I did was stand there, briefly looking into his eyes. Any spoken words would have been audible throughout the room, so I just stood and didn't say a word. All I did was rub my thumb against the two fingers beside it, the index finger and the middle finger – the sign for money.

Why does Miep choose to visit Gestapo headquarters?

She is no longer afraid of the Germans.
She seeks a friendship with the Austrian.
She believes the Austrian owes her money.
She is desperate to find help for her friends.

WILL AWARD BRAINLYEST
NEED NOW

Meanwhile the desire to express myself grew. The few signs I used became less and less adequate, and my failures to make myself understood were invariably followed by outbursts of passion. I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself. I struggled—not that struggling helped matters, but the spirit of resistance was strong within me; I generally broke down in tears and physical exhaustion. If my mother happened to be near I crept into her arms, too miserable even to remember the cause of the tempest. After awhile the need of some means of communication became so urgent that these outbursts occurred daily, sometimes hourly.


My parents were deeply grieved and perplexed. We lived a long way from any school for the blind or the deaf, and it seemed unlikely that any one would come to such an out-of-the-way place as Tuscumbia to teach a child who was both deaf and blind. Indeed, my friends and relatives sometimes doubted whether I could be taught. My mother's only ray of hope came from Dickens's "American Notes." She had read his account of Laura Bridgman, and remembered vaguely that she was deaf and blind, yet had been educated. But she also remembered with a hopeless pang that Dr. Howe, who had discovered the way to teach the deaf and blind, had been dead many years. His methods had probably died with him; and if they had not, how was a little girl in a far-off town in Alabama to receive the benefit of them?


Which answer choice is the best summary of the excerpt?


Laura Bridgman was deaf and blind, and she had been educated. Helen needed to be educated like Laura Bridgman so that she could express herself.


Helen had frequent outbursts because she needed a means of communication. Helen’s mother began looking for someone to educate Helen.


Dr. Howe had developed methods of teaching the deaf and blind, but he had been dead for many years. Helen’s parents had difficulty finding her a teacher.


Helen’s friends and relatives didn’t think she could be taught. Helen’s mother read about Laura Bridgman, who was deaf and blind and had been educated.

Describe the plot of the Robert Bruce story. Use complete sentences.



A. Problem: B. Action: C. Climax: D. Outcome:

Story:

The men of Scotland were led by Robert Bruce. English troops had invaded their country. Bruce had bravely fought them with his gallant men, but now he stumbled into a refuge and threw himself down on the floor. He was so very tired of the war. It seemed as though he could not succeed against the invaders.

A lonely Bruce sat and thought and then, in great despair decided, "I'll give it all up."

Just then a spider dropped down from the ceiling, interrupting his thoughts. Bruce wondered what the spider would do. From floor to ceiling was a long way back to the spider's home.

The spider began to crawl up its silvery rope, but slipped and fell again to the ground. Time and again the spider tried to reach its home, but each time it fell, dazed and faint.

After Robert Bruce counted nine attempts, he was sure the spider would try no more. The determined spider, however, worked harder than before. Slowly he got higher and higher until he reached the top. Robert Bruce shouted his praise for the worthy spider.
