Respuesta :

In this excerpt from "The Diary of Anne Frank", the option that best explains the purpose of the underlined stage directions is to transition the scene from 1945 back to 1942.

Mr. Frank has just arrived from Auschwitz. Miep gives him some papers, and among them, there is Anne's diary. He starts to read aloud, and Anne´s voice joins his and her voice is the only one heard. Meanwhile, the scene turns to 1942. Stage directions can be used to describe the setting, the characters, to tell the actors how to speak their lines and how and where to move. It is very important when reading to pay attention to stage directions.
