Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Grete must open a window before she can stand to be inside Gregor's room.

Key Word: stand. It suggests she is so disgusted by Gregor that she can't even be around him, specifically having to open a window so she can be a little more at ease.

Answer 2

Answer: The incident in The Metamorphosis that suggests that Gregor's new physical form is disgusting to the family is B. Grete must open a window before she can stand to be inside Gregor's room.

Explanation: Although at the beginning Grete is the only member of the family that takes care of Gregor and shows pity for him, at some point she stops feeling compassion for his brother and starts feeling repulsion. The fact that she cannot stand being in the same room with the new Gregor without having the window open shows that she feels as disgusted as their parents about the new physical form of his brother and about the odor he emits.
