I'd say the correct answer is B, because 'in the desert is part of the subject/noun 'canyon', and modifies it, that is, refers to it, describes it in more detail.
Stream-of-consciousness is a very stylistic form of free indirect discourse. It is not spontaneous, or unintentional, or anything of the sort. In fact, if anything, it's just the opposite. It's highly stylized, but also purposeful and calculating. It sees the world wholly through the character's mind instead of through their senses, save for how the mind and the senses interact.
It relates to a lot of things - free association, synesthesia, free indirect discourse, without actually being any of them.
<span>There's only a handful of writers that can actually do stream-of-consciousness writing with any success - Joyce and Faulkner come to mind immediately. In short, there's nothing wrong with trying it, but there's also nothing wrong with not having done that, but having done, say, free association instead.</span>
The second option is definitely more complicated
Answer:
Unmotivated
Explanation:
It wouldn't really make sense to say he is lazy because the passage says, 'He must've tried it a hundred times.' Which means he put effort in and was simply unsuccessful. There is nothing malevolent about Gregor in the message, so cruel is out. You could say he was hardworking, but since he isn't doing anything but laying in bed at the moment, it doesn't make sense to put that as the answer either, hence through process of elimination, you can assume that he's simply unmotivated as he expresses mild discouragement and disinterest.
Hope this helps :)
