Answer:
please rephrase the question I dont understand.
Correct answer: D. Desires to prove to the other suitors how adept he is at stringing the bow.
Explanation: In this part of the story, Odysseus is contending with Penelope’s suitors (his wife’s suitors) upon coming home in Ithaca after a very long time. Although he’s older than the other suitors, he’s very skilled at throwing the bow, like a harper who knows his instrument extremely well. He can’t wait to show his skill and win against the others.
<span> I believe that the excerpt which best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation is the first one:
He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before
it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he
could not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the
light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation—with
everyone's permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.
It shows how his family were all together, his parents and his sister, enjoying their time watching TV and talking, while he was in the other room all alone, with no one to talk to. He is lonely and completely isolated after his transformation, although he used to be the same thing even before he became a bug.
