Read the excerpt from Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.

Which sentence identifies the tone of the passage and analyzes how it is created? The tone is angry; words such as feeling and outsider establish this because they show that Anne does not accept her life as it is. The tone is reflective; words such as before and used establish this because they show that Anne is thinking meaningfully about the past. The tone is bored; words such as think and outsider establish this because they show that Anne cannot be a part of normal society. The tone is frustrated; words such as belong and Margot establish this because they show that Anne wishes she could be more like her sister.
