Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": The word "his" makes the story smoother to read in English.

Explanation:

Jewish writer Franz Kafka (1883-1924) born in Austria-Hungary used to write in German. In his worldwide well-known "<em>Metamorphosis</em>" (1915) exposes the story of Gregor Samsa, a salesman who overnight becomes a giant insect. In German, Gregor refers to his parents as of "the mother" and "the father" because those are terms normally used in that culture. However, for translation purposes, it was changed  to "his mother" and "his father" so English readers would smoothly continue with the flow of the lecture.

<h3>What is passive sentences?</h3>

A passive sentence is a sentence in which the subject does not perform the action of the verb. In fact, in a passive sentence, the action of the verb occurs with the subject.

Two voices are written: active and passive.  In the active voice, the subject acts as the subject of the sentence, as in Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Active voice is direct, clear and easy to read. In the passive voice, a topic is discussed, for example, "Neil Armstrong walked on the moon."  

A passive sentence is almost the opposite of an active sentence, because the object of the verb (the recipient of the action) moves to the previous position and the subject (the doer of the action) moves to the end (usually "with". " clause).Below is a model: Object "to be" Verb (optional "half" clause).
