FROM THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
        Multiple Choice Questions based on an extract.
        (A)    “’Paper has more patience than people’ I thought of this saying on one of those days when I was
        feeling a little depressed and was sitting at home with my chin in my hands, bored and listless, wondering
        whether to stay in or go out. I finally stayed where I was, brooding: Yes, paper does have more patience,
        and since I’m not planning to let anyone else read this stiff- backed notebook grandly referred to as a ‘diary’,
        unless I should ever find a real friend, it probably won’t make a bit of difference.”
