Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl.When she and I were sitting in our bedroom, Margot told me that the call-up was not for Father, but for her. At this second shock, I began to cry. Margot is sixteen – apparently they want to send girls her age away on their own. But thank goodness she won't be going; Mother had said so herself, which must be what Father had meant when he talked to me about our going into hiding. Hiding . . . where would we hide? In the city? In the country? In a house? In a shack? When, where, how . . . ? These were questions I wasn't allowed to ask, but they still kept running through my mind.Based on this excerpt, what is Anne’s perspective on going into hiding?

A
She is confused about why the family needs to hide.
B
She is certain that hiding is the safest option.

She is fearful that the family will be found in hiding.
