Answer:
A. The three boarders.
Explanation:
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is an allegorical story of a young man's transformation into a bug, rendering him useless and helpless, and eventually dies. This story deals with themes of isolation, aloofness, responsibility, alienation, pressure, etc.
In the short story, the major characters are the residents of the house where Gregor and his family live. His father, mother, and sister constitute the primary characters to Gregor Samsa's main character. Added to that are the three boarders that his mother took in to get extra money after Gregor became an insect and can't work anymore. They represent the intolerant attitude of society, a representation of the outside world.
The three bearded gentlemen seemed repulsed and detest Gregor when they saw he was an insect. Stating that they loved cleanliness, they mostly took their meals inside their room and even invited Grete Samsa to play the violin inside their room <em>"where it is, after all, much more cozy and comfortable[?]"</em>
Their reaction and behavior towards the Samsa family not only showed their callousness, but they also demanded that they will move out and not pay rent after spotting Gregor.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

culture
Explanation:

Answer:
Romeo's family name was Montague and Juliet's family name was Capulet.
Explanation:
The Montagues and the Capulets were two rival families living in Verona, Italy. The Prologue of the Shakespearean play mentions their grudge to be an ancient one, having already made them shed blood, but offers no further explanation as to how or why it started.
Romeo and Juliet fall in love with each other only to find out that their love is forbidden due to their families' feud. Juliet, however, takes some sort of potion that lowers her heart rate enough to make her look as if she has died. Her plan is to free herself from her family by pretending to be dead and then running away with Romeo. She sends Romeo a letter but, unfortunately, the false news of her death reaches him before the letter does.
Romeo, who can fathom life without his precious love, kills himself by drinking poison. When Juliet wakes up and finds Romeo dead by her side, she stabs and kills herself with a dagger. Their tragic ending is the final lesson to be learned by the Montagues and the Capulets. If it weren't for their heartless grudge, their son and daughter would have been alive and happy.
