The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

Which genres of fiction are notable in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis?
11111nata11111 [884]
<span>Allegorical, Surrealistic.

Surrealism is a story that has dreamlike qualities in which the narrative has absurd or unrealistic elements. In Metamorphosis, Gregor becomes a giant insect. This is rather absurd and unrealistic. An allegory is when a story has a hidden meaning. Is Metamorphosis just about a guy turned into a bug? No. It's also about the alienating nature of society. Throughout the story, Gregor has no real friends with people outside of his family. Once he becomes a bug, even that is gone. </span>
