Read the following excerpt from "Woman Who Helped Hide Anne Frank Dies at 100" by Teri Schultz.
Ms. MIEP GIES: I, myself, I'm just a very common
person. I simply had no choice. I could foresee many,
many sleepless nights and a life filled with regret if I
would have refused to help the Franks. And this was not
the kind of life I was looking for at all.
SCHULTZ: Gies explained another motivation for
emphasizing her modesty. She said if people are allowed
to think it takes remarkable qualities to act boldly on
behalf of others, few will attempt it.
Ms. GIES: People should never think that you have to be
a very special person to help those who need you.

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
