(1) One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He

lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
(2) "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.

(3) Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

Which of the following is the best summary of paragraph 1? (5 points)


Gregor tries to go back to sleep, but the weather keeps him up.

Gregor wants to forget his trouble, but his body will not allow him.

Gregor wakes to find he is transformed into a bug.

Defiantly when he finds himself transformed into a bug

Answer: Gregor wakes to find he is transformed into a bug.

The excerpt describes how Gregor wakes up and finds himself transformed into a bug. The text describes his thin, many legs, his armour-like back, and his brown, domed belly. This is the beginning of the book <em>The Metamorphosis</em> by Franz Kafka. The passage does not talk about the weather. It also does not state that Gregor wants to forget, or that his body is not allowing him to. Finally, the passage states that the transformation was not a dream, as Gregor wakes up and then notices the change.
