Answer:he tries to sleep it off.

Explanation: As these opening lines from Kafka´s novella, Metamorphosis, show, the transformation of Gregor Samsa into some sort of vermin is not a dream and in fact it´s a quite literally real experience. However, Samsa is uncomfortable but not quite panicking, and, given the situation, it is quite surprising that his reaction is merely to try to sleep it off, but, alas, he can´t even manage to do this since his new bodily form is too uncomfortable to sleep on his side, like he used to do.

Answer:

They can not figure out how to transport Gregor.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," the story takes place solely in the Samsas' apartment, where all of the rooms are close together. Gregor has become a disgusting bug, even though he is still partially human inside. Thus, he is bound to his room and not allowed to leave, since some of the family and visitors fear him. When he dies, the relieved family moves to a nicer apartment.
