Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mr Keesing asked her to write an essay on the topic ‘A Chatterbox’ as punishment. In the essay, she accepted the drawbacks of being talkative but argued that it was in her genes, as her mother was also very talkative.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Mr. Kessing called Anne ‘an incorrigible chatterbox’ because he was annoyed at her incessant talking in the class. He had warned her many times no to talk in the class while he was teaching, yet Anne could not resist the temptation to talk.

Detailed explanation-3: -In her final entry, Frank wrote of how others perceive her, describing herself as “a bundle of contradictions.” She wrote: “As I’ve told you many times, I’m split in two. One side contains my exuberant cheerfulness, my flippancy, my joy in life and, above all, my ability to appreciate the lighter side of things.

Detailed explanation-4: -In her first essay, Anne was given the task of writing on the subject “A Chatterbox” in which she had to present the necessity of talking.
