I would say D miserably, I hope this helps!
<span> I believe that the excerpt which best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation is the first one:
He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before
it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he
could not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the
light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation—with
everyone's permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.
It shows how his family were all together, his parents and his sister, enjoying their time watching TV and talking, while he was in the other room all alone, with no one to talk to. He is lonely and completely isolated after his transformation, although he used to be the same thing even before he became a bug.

Answer:
Mysterious Stranger
Prompt: Write a story that includes the words sunscreen, camera, and tourist.
He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen sticking out of his tote bag.
The portly man sat on the terrace, sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a glossy cruise brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn't looking at the brochure: he hadn't turned a page for the last ten minutes.
As I brought him his clam chowder, he coughed up a "thank you" and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.
I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him.
Explanation:
The answers would be:
The fast pacing highlights exciting events to keep the reader’s attention.
The fast pacing indicates that the story is moving toward a key event in the text.
Fast pacing focuses more on action than on scenery description and details. In the excerpt, information is provided succinctly in order to further the story quickly. There is no development of the three months it took the pigs to learn how to read and write, for instance. It is only mentioned briefly (highlighted) so as to explain another key event: the renaming of the farm. The characters are not described in detail as well. The information about Snowball being the best writer is also given concisely.
