Answer 1

O A. Gregor did not like the taste of the milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is about the shocking transformation of Gregor Samsa into an insect. The short story seems to focus on the theme of isolation, aloofness, and the inability to socialize.

The one element that shows that Gregor's transformation is more than physical is that he detests the taste of milk. The sweetened milk that his sister had left for him at his door was a repulsive thing for him. The author reveals that he did not like the taste at all, "[though] Milk like this was normally his favorite drink".

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
