Read this part of one of Anne's speeches in The Diary of Anne Frank Act I Scene 3:

"The best part about this room ... you can look down and see a bit of the street and the canal. There's a houseboat ... you can see the end of it ... a bargeman lives there with his family .... They have a baby and he's just beginning to walk and I'm so afraid he'll fall into the canal. I watch him...."

What is the MOST REASONABLE inference to draw about Anne's personality from the details in this speech?

• She is resourceful because she finds outside interests that take her mind off having to live in fear of the Nazis.

• She is foolish because she has established communications with outsiders in spite of being warned of the danger.

• She is nosy because she keeps an eye on the baby even though she does not know the bargeman and his wife.

• She is naive because she thinks only good things about the people she sees and knows.
