The answer is D: ewish people, such as Kafka, were often persecuted and referred to as that word.

The German word that Kafka used in the opening lines of his novella was <em>ungeziefer, </em>which best translates into English as <em>vermin. </em>Kafka made sure that his character, Samsa, was not given a specific form, so that the reader would have to form an image of his character based on imagination and not description. A vermin can be considered a bug, like a cockroach, but it could also be considered a rat. The word was used to designate Jewish people in a very negative sense, as unwelcome within German public life (<em>lebensraum</em>). Later, after Kafka´s death, this word would become pervasive in all forms of anti-Semitic expressions before and during the rise of the Nazi party in Germany.

Andre45 [30]

The state of mind is revealed by the quote, “all the smoldering emotions of that summer swelled in me and burst" is an overwhelming feeling of helplessness caused by the narrator’s new understanding of the world. This is the feeling of knowing new aspect of her life.

The passage clearly shows that narrator was not aware of her family's situation. She suddenly came to know the truth of their poverty. This feeling of realization that they are poor has made her emotionally week. She is not at all mentally stable to make correct decision or think positively. She has mixed feelings of helplessness, anger and hopelessness.
