This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank.

It is early morning, July 1942. The rooms are bare, as before, but they are now clean and orderly.

Which best explains the purpose of this stage direction, which opens scene 2?

A. to remind the reader that cleanliness was not very important to the Franks during the war.

B. to demonstrate to the audience that Miep was unable to keep the attic orderly during the war

C. to remind the reader that this scene takes place three years before the war ended

D. to demonstrate to the audience that this scene takes place years after the war ended

Answer:

The purpose of the stage direction that opens scene 2 is:

C. to remind the reader that this scene takes place three years before the war ended .

Explanation:

Scene 2 of Act I of The Diary of Anne Frank is opposed to scene 1 precisely by the condition of the rooms. Take a look at the stage direction for scene 1:

The curtain rises on an empty stage. It is late afternoon,  November 1945.

The rooms are dusty, the curtains in rags. Chairs and tables are  overturned.

Not just the date, but the state in which the rooms are shows that terrible and difficult times were seen by them. This is after the war, after all the suffering. On the other hand, scene 2 goes back to 1942, to before the destruction and pain Anne and her family would have to endure in those very rooms. That is why they are clean and orderly. They are yet to see the horror of the war.

Read the passage from Animal Farm. Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. In a moment, he said, he would ask the present company to drink a toast. But before doing so, there were a few words that he felt it incumbent upon him to say. It was a source of great satisfaction to him, he said—and, he was sure, to all others present—to feel that a long period of mistrust and misunderstanding had now come to an end. There had been a time—not that he, or any of the present company, had shared such sentiments—but there had been a time when the respected proprietors of Animal Farm had been regarded, he would not say with hostility, but perhaps with a certain measure of misgiving, by their human neighbours. Unfortunate incidents had occurred, mistaken ideas had been current. It had been felt that the existence of a farm owned and operated by pigs was somehow abnormal and was liable to have an unsettling effect in the neighbourhood. Too many farmers had assumed, without due enquiry, that on such a farm a spirit of licence and indiscipline would prevail. They had been nervous about the effects upon their own animals, or even upon their human employees. But all such doubts were now dispelled. Today he and his friends had visited Animal Farm and inspected every inch of it with their own eyes, and what did they find? Not only the most up-to-date methods, but a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere. He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately. How does Orwell's characterization of Mr. Pilkington support his purpose? Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and the other farmers in town to show how dictatorial practices can be spread. Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington to represent a new understanding between humans and animals that

Read the excerpt from “Sugihara.”

A woman, looking through one of those large windows, watches the crowd. She is YUKIKO SUGIHARA, 35, the wife of the Japanese vice consul. She wears a stylish Japanese dress.

Her attention is drawn to three small children in the crowd, two boys and a girl, who stare up at her, expressionless. The girl clutches a doll; a tear trickles down her face. Yukiko turns from the window and looks at her own three children, two boys and a girl, playing quietly on a rug. Her daughter holds a similar doll.

Yukiko's face is grim. She leaves the room, walks determinedly down a corridor to a door marked "Office of the Vice Consul." She knocks on the door.

Which supporting detail from the passage would be least important to
include in a summary?
Vanilla is a flavor loved around the world, and, along with chocolate
and strawberry, it is one the classic flavors in American food. But
getting it from the plant to your mouth is a difficult and expensive task.
Vanilla beans are part of the flower of the orchid plant. Vanilla orchids
are native to Mexico but are now grown in other countries as well.
The most amazing thing about the vanilla orchid is that it only flowers
for one day each year. This means that vanilla farmers must check
each of their plants every day so that they don't miss the harvest. With
many plants, this can take a long time. Because it takes so much work
to harvest the vanilla beans, by the time it reaches your grocery store,
vanilla is very expensive.

Dearest Kitty,

It seems like years since Sunday morning. So much has happened it's as if the whole world had suddenly turned upside down. But as you can see, Kitty, I'm still alive, and that's the main thing, Father says. I'm alive all right, but don't ask where or how. You probably don't understand a word I'm saying today, so I'll begin by telling you what happened Sunday afternoon.
