The correct answer is: B) A lot of Kafka's original words are open to multiple interpretations.

When translating from one language to another, sometimes words can't be substituted in a very precise way as they mean different things in the original language. Sometimes the words translated can't capture the right tone, the right mood or the right cultural reference. The transaltor then, has to make a choice between a lot of things, for example alliteration or word choice. In the case of "The Metamorphosis", a lot of Kafka's words can mean different things in English and translators have had a lot of trouble making those choices. Since the first sentence thay have had problems. It states that the principal character wakes up being a kind of giant bug but it can also be a cockroach, an insect or a vermin.

you are the speaker of the interschool debate compitition on the topic "Examination should be banned in schools" write your deba
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Well an exam is a test of knowledge, I don't think these are really necessary because its just showing what you know, and what you don't know its unfair and unnecessary, if the exam is asking you something you don't know its unfair, because then if you know nothing about what the exam is asking, it could make you seem not smart. This could be unfair, but if an exam is giving at the end of the school year or semester, then it would be fine because it would just be a recap of everything you've learned. While at the beginning of the school year, the exam can be unfair because its asking questions you don't know, but this could be helpful at the same time, because it can show how much you've grown from the beginning of the year. Overall these are some ideas to think of.
