(1) One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he

ufted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide
off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
(2) "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A
collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table-Samsa was a travelling salesman--and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated
magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a tur hat and tur bon who sat upright, raising a heavy fur mult that covered the whole of her lower
arm towards the viewer
(3) Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him foel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit
longer and forget all this nonsense," he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't
get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he
wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before,
Read the sentence from the passage and answey the question that follows:
His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four famillar walls.

Answer the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell.

His foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. But he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. He staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver. He stood there, rubbing his injured shoulder, and Rainsford, with fear again gripping his heart, heard the general's mocking laugh ring through the jungle.
