Question

1. how does the author show the danger annemarie faces?

by describing her interactions with the soldiers and other adults
by explaining how brave lise was
by describing her neighborhood in denmark
by explaining the wartime conditions

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

1. Option 1 (describing her interactions with the setting): In literature (like Number the Stars), an author often shows a character’s challenges through how they interact with their environment (e.g., Annemarie’s encounters with Nazi soldiers, hiding Jews, etc.). This aligns with how character conflicts are revealed via setting interactions.
2. Option 2 (explaining her IQ): The story does not focus on intelligence quotient to show challenges. Eliminate.
3. Option 3 (describing her neighborhood property): Property details are irrelevant to her core challenges (Nazi occupation, helping Jews). Eliminate.
4. Option 4 (explaining social conditions): While social conditions (Nazi rule) are context, the question is about how the author shows Annemarie’s challenges—showing her actions/interactions (not just explaining conditions) is more direct.

Answer:

A. By describing her interactions with the setting (assuming the first option is labeled A; adjust label to match the original, e.g., if first option is "By describing her interactions with the setting", select that option’s identifier and text).
