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.

The reason why it took Tom’s jury so long to deliberate was because one man on the jury was fighting for acquittal (not guilty).

Answer:

It shows the possible beginning of change in attitudes and social realities concerning the relations between blacks and whites in Maycomb.

Explanation:

In the trial of Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird even though the night before the trial Walter Cunningham had been among those who wanted take justice in their own hands and lynch Tom Robinson, Atticus "had a feeling" that after tangling with Atticus and Scout that night, the Cunninghams left with "considerable respect" for the Finches.  Atticus could have stricken the Cunningham kin from the jury, but, knowing that "once you earned their respect (the Cunninghams) were for you tooth and nail", he decided to take a risk.  Atticus had reasoned that "there's a faint difference between a man who's going to convict and a man who's a little disturbed in his mind".  As it turned out, the Cunningham relative was "the only uncertainty on the whole list", and he did indeed stand up for the truth by holding out in favor of acquittal for Tom Robinson.
