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 :)

The 'rising action' of a novel is the section of the story after the exposition that builds the story's primary (and secondary) conflicts, advancing the plot. This contrasts with 'falling action', the events that come after a story's climax, leading towards a resolution.
