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 ungeziefer, which best translates into English as vermin. 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 (lebensraum). 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.

Answer:

depends

Explanation:

Many people assume that college is the only way to become a successful individual, it very much depends. College is great if you want to become a nurse, engineer, scientist, etc, but if you are just trying to make lots of money college is not a good option for it will just be a waste of time and money. There are many pros and cons of going to college depending on the major. If you are going to be a nurse you aren't going to just interact with patients immediately, you won't know what you're doing. On the other hand if you are trying to become an entrepreneur you wont necessarily need to get a PHD to do that you just need to be creative and know basic skills like using a computer, creating websites, and making a social media accounts for promotion of the product. Going to college as soon as possible is a better option because you can finish your courses while you are still young, again it depends in some situations saving up money before going to college is smart to prevent student debt but finishing faster is better.
