B: to emphasize the father's determination to find help for his son.
Explanation:
The author's main purpose for including these words spoken by the father is to emphasize his determination to find help for his son, and there are some words or phrases in them that seem to express this idea, such as "..I'll find somebody to take care of you."; "..there's a doctor...I'll take you to him."; "I've carried you for hours, and I'm not going to leave you lying here..."

Answer:
She would explain why she is so concerned about Girl.
Explanation:
The passage would most likely change if Girl's mother was the narrator by explaining her concern for her daughter and why she would want her to be upright and be a good daughter.
From the passage given, it is narrated from the perspective of Girl where she talks about how her mother always tells her not to sing Benna in Sunday School, eat her food in such a way that it won't turn her stomach, walk like a lady and so on. We can infer that Girl is exasperated and tired of her mother's interference in her life and does not really understand her mother as she believes she is trying to control her life.
Narrating the story from her mother's point of view would enable her to explain why she is so concerned about her daughter, not as if she is controlling her.

into a giant, hideous bug.
Explanation:
Rising action takes place after the introduction of the characters, setting etc. It is usually an event or a series of events in a plot that create the condition for conflicts to arise and to be solved. That is, if it weren't for the rising action, there would be no suspense, no problem, no climax or resolution. In "The Metamorphosis", the rising action begins when Gregor wakes up transformed into a bug. Technically speaking, everything that happens from then on could be thought of as part of the rising action. But, if we want to me more precise, the events provided in options A and C could be considered conflicts, while the event on letter D is the resolution for the conflict. Thus, the event in the rising action cause a conflict and its resolution:
Gregor is now a bug --> his family is disgusted and not sure if they should accept him --> Gregor dies, and his family is now relieved of the burden
