<span>Sample response: The boy's counsel could argue that the sentence is cruel and unusual punishment. This is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. The boy does not have the judgment of an adult and cannot be punished as an adult. In fact, even if the boy were an adult, life in prison could be a cruel or unusual sentence.</span>

Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered. Then he walked toward the back office where Mr. Kraler was working, leaving us alo
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Anne Frank Remembered is a documentary produced in 1995 and it is 122 minutes long. Miep Gies was the woman who helped the family when they needed to hide during the Nazi Occupation during World War II.

Letter A is not correct because even though she could've reported the words, it does not add or build suspense. B and C are also incorrect just because they contribute to the last part, which is also the last option.

Withholding information about the outcome is the correct answer; even though readers could foresee the results, the speaker can create tension putting all the elements together (the reaction, the gun, the words) and not saying what is going to happen next.
