To determine how Franek manipulates Elie into giving him his gold crown, you should look for a line from the text that suggests manipulation or coercion. Let's analyze the given options:
a) "That presented Franek with the opportunity to torment [my father], and on a daily basis, thrash him savagely."
This line does not directly relate to Franek manipulating Elie into giving him his crown. It describes Franek tormenting Elie's father instead.
b) "If you don’t give me your crown, it will cost you much more!"
This line indicates that there will be consequences for Elie if he doesn't hand over his crown. It suggests a level of coercion, but specific manipulation tactics are not described.
c) "What? My ration of bread so that you can have my crown?"
This line shows Elie expressing surprise and resistance to Franek's request, but it doesn't demonstrate any manipulation on Franek's part.
d) "What would you like? That I break your teeth by smashing your face?"
This line shows Franek issuing a threat towards Elie, but it does not directly relate to him manipulating Elie into giving up his crown.
Considering all these options, the line that best supports the response to the previous question is:
b) "If you don’t give me your crown, it will cost you much more!"
However, it's important to note that the text might not explicitly describe Franek's manipulation tactics. To determine the specific techniques used, you should consider the overall context and interactions between Franek and Elie throughout the story.
