The correct answer is C. vain.
To do something in vain means to do something unsuccessfully because that effort is futile and will not succeed. In vain is a phrase in the English language which means there will be no desired results, whereas the other phrases don't mean anything and are therefore incorrect.
Answer:
The book <em>Metamorphosis </em>is about a man Gregor that wakes up one day to discover that he has become an insect which alters his life, both his work and his relationship with his parents.
Each of his family members has different ways of adapting to this new Gregor. Greta, his sister still assumes that his taste for milk when he was a human remains the same now that he is an insect but soon finds out that his taste is different now that he is an insect.
His mother believes that Gregor will still turn back to being human and opposes the idea that Greta suggested removing some of his possessions out of the room so he will have more crawling space.
His dad, however, does not quite view Gregor as his son anymore after he turns to an insect and brutally assaults him when he escapes from the room.
It really be like that sometimes.
