Answer 1

The best answer that identifies the theme of the poem is:

b: Paying respect to the suffering of others is important, even if it is difficult.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem emphasizes the idea that while tourists visit the Anne Frank House and pay homage to her, it's important to remember the other people who suffered during the Holocaust and to pay respect to their memory as well, even if it may be difficult to do. In the poem, rain symbolizes the tears shed by those who suffered, and we are encouraged to remember and honor them.
