Answer 5

Critical means "expressing adverse or disapproving comments or judgments."

In other words, criticizing, like a professional movie or video game critic would say both good and bad things about the thing they're writing about.

Tone is basically the author's (in this case, Anne's) attitude towards what they're writing about.

I would not say it is A, because she is not judging her dad for being sad. 'Poor soul' is sympathetic, not critical.

The rest is a little tricky ... What do you think? Why would you choose C over B and D?

Answer 6

because she said in the book that the annex must be a paradise compared to where other jews were hiding
