The correct answer is C. Thought about the book

Explanation:

A parallel structure refers to a type of grammatical structure in which elements of the same importance are presented using the same grammatical form or pattern in a sentence. In the sentence stem presented "He was sitting, reading, and..." there is a repetition "-ing" or gerund forms and therefore parallelism can be created if the last element includes this grammatical pattern. This means, adding planning, considering or eating would create parallelism, but adding a "thought about the book" does not create parallelism because this breaks with the repetition of the same grammatical structure that is necessary for parallelism.

What theme does the following excerpt from franz kafka’s The Metamorphosis deal with?

mixer [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>C</u>: the disconnection between mind and body.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka describes the disconnection between mind and body. Gregor tries to resolve a problem with a connection and disconnection between his body, as a result of the monotonous life led by his family.

Nothing should be removed; everything had to stay; he could not do without the good influence the furniture had on his condition.

This part of the excerpt represents the most important evidence between the disconnection of his mind and his body.
