Answer:
The two excerpts that best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation are:
Excerpt 1
Excerpt 2
Explanation:
The above are correct because:
In Excerpt 1, we discover that Gregor was "<em>...lying in the darkness of his room where he could not be seen from the living room..." </em>This actually depicted that Gregor was in an isolated condition. He was kept in his room and never wanted to be seen by anyone. He remained there and just listened to their conversation from there.
In Excerpt 2, we discover that in Gregor's home <em>"...all of them were usually very quiet nowadays...</em>" This also depicted his isolation condition. It means that everyone in the house wasn't talking to him - the father just goes to sleep after dinner, the mother and sister just urge each other to be quiet.
The Metamorphosis is a story by Franz Kafka which tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a salesman who slept and woke up one morning and discovered that he has been transformed into a huge insect and struggles to adjust to this new condition.
It is false that Dr. Samuel Johnson's Dictionary reflects today's trend toward objectivity in lexicography.

Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Cats are normally calm and resigned. First its important to identify what the authors purpose is in writing the paragraph. The purpose is to create an unbiased paragraph and we know this because the author states that both "Dogs and cat are fantastic pets" one is not better than the other. In the sentence preceding, the author gives an example of a personality trait of dogs that could be viewed as negative to a reader. It would only be unbiased of the writer to similarly include a sentence of a personality trait of cats that could be considered negative to those reading. Thus, "Cats are normally calm and resigned." would be the appropriate sentences to include to create an effective paragraph with the goal of being unbiased.
