Question

Read the passage from Anne Frank: A Diary of a Young Girl.

The "Secret Annexe" has heard the joyful news that each person will receive an extra quarter of a pound of butter for Christmas. It says half a pound in the newspapers, but that's only for the lucky mortals who get their ration booklets from the government, not for Jews who have gone into hiding, who can only afford to buy four ration books, instead of eight.

Which excerpt from the passage best supports the idea that even good news is not as good for Anne and the others who are in hiding?

"...but that's only for the lucky mortals who get their ration booklets from the government..."

"The 'Secret Annexe' has heard the joyful news..."

"It says half a pound in the newspapers..."

"...each person will receive an extra quarter of a pound of butter for Christmas.
