Which of the following quotations from Act I best supports the answer to Question 2?

• You could not do this and you could not do that. They forced Father out of his business. We had to wear yellow stars. I had to turn in my bike. I couldn't go to a Dutch school any more.

• It'll be hard, I know. But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind . . . remember the battle you had with your mother the other day on the subject of overshoes? . . . Well now, you see, for as long as we are here you will never have to wear overshoes!

• It's the silence in the nights that frightens me the most. Every time I hear a creak in the house, or a step on the street outside, I'm sure they're coming for us. The days aren't so bad. At least we know that Miep and Mr. Kraler are down there below us in the office. Our protectors, we call them.
