Select the correct text in the passage.
Franz Kafka's own sense of social marginalization and alienation is echoed in the interactions between Gregor and his family in the story The
which of these pyrernts from the story does Gregor seem to maintain some, even slight thoughtfulness for his family?

Answer 1

Yet Gregor's sister was playing so beautifully. Her face was leant to one side, following the lines of music with a careful and melancholy expression. Gregor crawled a little further forward, keeping his head close to the ground so that he could meet her eyes if the chance came. Was he an animal if music could captivate him so? It seemed to him that he was being shown the way to the unknown nourishment he had been yearning for. He was determined to make his way forward to his sister and tug at her skirt to show her she might come into his room with her violin, as no-one appreciated her playing here as much as he would.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "He spent the whole night there. Some of the time he passed in a light sleep, although he frequently woke from it in alarm because of his hunger, and some of the time was spent in worries and vague hopes..."

Step-by-step explanation:

The third excerpt is the only one from the options that shows the perspective of the main character Gregor about his family. This can be seen in "he must show patience and the greatest consideration so that his family could bear the unpleasantness" that explains Gregor shows consideration or shows thoughtfulness for his family in this new situation. Also, in other excerpts, the narrator focuses mainly on the isolation of Gregor rather than Gregor's thoughtfulness for his family.
