Answer: A. He sets the opening of the story on a rainy day.
Explanation:
<em>The Metamorphosis</em> is a 1915 book by Franz Kafka. It is about a man called Gregor who is, over the course of one night, transformed into a huge insect.
In this particular excerpt, it is the rainy weather that makes the situation sad. Gregor did have a bad dream, but we are not given any particular information about it. Gregor is certainly not feeling sad because of his room, nor does his profession affect his mood. However, in the last excerpt, we see that the weather is described as "dull", and the author points out that the rain makes Gregor "quite sad." The fact that the author sets the story on a rainy day makes it even more melancholic
"Dawn in New York" praises the solitude of a morning routine.
While this morning routine does take place on urban transportation systems, the poem is praising the fact that these transportations systems are nearly empty at dawn. There are "no pushing crowd, no tramping, tramping feet" getting in the speaker's way as he makes his way to work.

Answer and Explanation:
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by American author Ambrose Bierce set during the Civil War. The main character, Peyton Farquhar, is tricked into trying to burn a bridge that would allow Union soldiers to cross into Confederate territory.
<u>Bierce does not narrate this story in chronological order. By doing that, he gets to trick readers, especially towards the end. In the first part of the story, Farquhar is already about to be hanged, having been accused of treason. However, the second part is a flashback. We get to know who Farquhar is and how he got tricked into trying to burn the bridge. In part three, the narrator deceives readers. It is time to actually hang Farquhar. But, while Bierce separated reality and flashback into two different parts before, he does not do that now. Reality and hallucinations are mixed. We are led to believe that the noose broke and that Farquhar was able to escape and return home. We are brought back to reality in a sudden, almost cruel way:</u>
<em>Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge.</em>
<u>Farquhar never escaped. He hallucinated in the brief moments it took him to die from hanging.</u>
