In the excerpt, the word "pungent" refers to the pickles' aroma.
Pungent is a word to describe a very strong smell, very sharp and biting. So when Untermeyer used the word pungent to refer to the pickles, he was talking about their aroma, which is a fancy way to say smell.

for your question on that other question
A research paper is most likely to require a works cited page
The mood (or tone) of the prologue is considered as sombre, dark, macabre... since from the start we're being told that this story is going to be a story of love, death and loss.
The correct answer to this question is:
Gregor was showing the cultural norm of 1915 Europe as “Men often worked unfulfilling jobs”.
This was based on
the novel by Franz Kafka called The Metamorphosis. Gregor was a traveling
salesman and he really hates his work and his boss. The one thing that keeps
him from this job is to support the family and pay their family debts.
Hope this helps :)
