Select the correct text in the passage. Industrialization in Europe changed the way people lived. The urban working class came i

nto being, and with it came the drudgery of work. Which two parts of this excerpt from Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis most closely reflect this impact of industrialization on people's lives? "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. 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. "Oh, no", he thought, "what a strenuous career it is that I've chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. They can all go away!" He felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn't know what to make of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold shudder. He slid back into his former position. "Getting up early all the time", he thought, "it makes you stupid. You've got to get enough sleep. Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts. I ought to just try that with my boss; I'd get kicked out on the spot. But who knows, maybe that would be the best thing for me. If I didn't have my parents to think about I'd have given in my notice a long time ago, I'd have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything I would, let him know just what I feel."

Explanation:

<h2>                          Frozen Daggers</h2>

She wore an angered expression paired with blue eyes sharp as frozen daggers.

Not worried about piercing you,

but rather how much you'd bleed.

Daggers that killed countless lives on a cold winter day.

Daggers that have been cleaned of blood by simply dipping them in the snow.

Making the knife as cold as the heart of the person who used it.

Daggers that killed ones it loved and cherished.

Daggers that show no mercy.

Daggers that stained the clean snow red that winter's evening.

Though the dagger wasn't kind, the winter day was.

Children played in the white flakes.

People built innocent snowmen.

Along with that they also built bonds and memories.

They built things they loved and not too soon after, lost.

Everyone played in the snow and built bonds no matter how different they were.

The winter day brought them together with to intention of taking them apart.

The winter loved them.

The winter thrived off of their happiness.

Joy was its source of life.

​

This is why her daggers are frozen.

She is the kindest soul to exist.

Yet she is not to be underestimated or you might just end up cut.
