Has anybody read the Metamorphosis story? i need to answer the following questions ASAP I HAVE 27 MINUTES
laila [671]

Answer:

1. Gregor has an overwhelmed personality and feels very guilty.

2. Gregor changes the provider of the family to the burden of the family.

Explanation:

Before the metamorphosis, Gregor had an oppressed personality because he had to work constantly, almost without rest to promote the family's livelihood and well-being. Gregor hates his job, which makes him even more overwhelmed. After the metamorphosis he has a strong feeling of guilt for not helping the family.

This feeling is the great change that Gregor presents. That's because before he felt overwhelmed, but when he became a giant insect and started to depend on his family, he changed that feeling. Before he was the provider of the family, now he is the burden.

' C ' has the misplaced modifier. It makes the sentence sound like the commands take the obedience class.

It should say "The dogs that take the obedience class know several commands.".
