Answer

1. The saying that came back to Anne on one of her melancholy days is “Paper is more patient than man.”
2. Anne considers her diary to be a dear friend because she feels she has no real friend with whom she can share her thoughts and feelings. She wants her diary, which she names Kitty, to be someone she can confide in and who will listen patiently.
3. Anne’s father was appointed Managing Director of Travies N.V. when they emigrated to Holland.
4. Anne’s life was filled with anxiety because her family, except for her immediate family, felt the full impact of Hitler’s anti-Jewish laws. They lived in fear and uncertainty due to the discrimination and persecution they faced as Jews under the Nazi regime.
