The following refers to Gregor Samsa's attitude toward his work:

Gregor dislikes his work as a traveling salesman. He particularly hates his tyrannical boss, the long hours, and the shallow acquaintances.

The only reason why Gregor does not quit his job is his family. He is helping his parents pay off a debt.

Evidence of his dislike for his job and the reason to keep on doing it is as follows:

"If I didn't hold back for my parents' sake, I would've quit ages ago. I would've gone to the boss and told him just what I think from the bottom of my heart. He would've fallen right off his desk!"

  • This question refers to the famous novel "<u>The Metamorphosis</u>" by Bohemian author Franz Kafka (1883-1924).
  • The main character is Gregor Samsa, a young man who one day wakes up to find himself transformed into an insect.
  • Gregor's transformation represents how little his life is worth to society. Gregor is not respected as a human being. He is just another cog in the machine, so speak.
  • Gregor is unhappy with his condition. He does not have a job or a lifestyle that he truly loves. All that matters is making money to survive.
  • Even though he hates his job, he does not quit because of his parents' debt.

<u>Answer:</u>

The word, if used to replace "quiet," in the given sentence "Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was quiet." would give this sentence a more negative tone is (B) Stifled.

"Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was <u>stifled</u>."

<u>Explanation:</u>

The word "Quiet" literally denotes a place which is void of noise. Here, in the given sentence, when the people who used to camp went back to bed, one should expect a calm and a peaceful atmosphere. During the bed time, no one will make such loud noises which will distract the people in the environment as everyone tend to take rest during night. The word "Quiet" denotes that type of environment too.

The word "Silent" is similar in meaning to the word "Quiet" and it generates a positive tone too. The word "Still" denotes the environment which is undisturbed by any external factors. Hence, the word "Still" also projects the exact nature of the environment. If we use the word "Stifled" in the above sentence, it refers to the environment which is generally constrained from doing something i.e., enforcing an order to do something. Here, the word "Stifled" creates a negative tone when replaced in the given sentence.

. You are going to read a text about latecomers. Some words are missing from the text.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

(0)  D between

(19) no word is needed.

(20) F divided

(21) G from

(22) H met

(23) B any

(24) K why

(25) J themselves

(26) E caught

(27) C as

Explanation:

  • (0) the correct word is a preposition that we use when we compare two things, which is between.
  • (19) No word is needed since the verb robs in the sentence only needs a direct object, which is bits of your life.
  • (20) the correct word that goes with into is divided. It indicates that we can separate something amongst things, in this case, into two kinds of people.
  • (21) The preposition "from" indicates a specific location as a starting point that the person uses to move to another location. He moves from place A to place B.
  • (22) the verb met is used as part of a conditional form that indicates that something is possible to happen in the future.
  • (23) The quantifier 'any" has to follow a noun, which in this case is the schedule, and it is indicating that there is no specific schedule. All of them can be modified.
  • (24) the correct word is the adverb why since it is asking for the reason for something.
  • (25) The subject in the sentence is they, as we want to refer to the same group of people. We use the reflexive pronoun themselves.
  • (26) We need to use the word caught to express that we have a virus in ourselves, as when we caught a cold, we also caught a virus.
  • (27) the adverb "as" is comparing two similar things.
