Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

“It’s got to go”, shouted his sister, “that’s the only way, Father. You’ve got to get rid of the idea that that’s Gregor. We’ve only harmed ourselves by believing it for so long. How can that be Gregor? If it were Gregor he would have seen long ago that it’s not possible for human beings to live with an animal like that and he would have gone of his own free will. We wouldn’t have a brother any more, then, but we could carry on with our lives and remember him with respect. As it is this animal is persecuting us, it’s driven out our tenants, it obviously wants to take over the whole flat and force us to sleep on the streets.” ("The Metamorphosis," Part III, p. 31)

The inference that best supports this excerpt would be ______

Gregor’s father’s compassion for the bug endangers the rest of his family.
Gregor’s sister is unable to accept her brother after his physical transformation.
Gregor’s presence threatens the security of his family’s living situation.
Gregor’s compassion for his family disappeared when he became a bug.

Respuesta :

I think the answer is C: Gregor's presence threatens the security of his family's living situation.

If that's not right, i apologize, and please let me know what the correct one is.

Answer:

Gregor’s sister is unable to accept her brother after his physical transformation.

Explanation:

This text doesn't really talk much about Gregor nor his father, but about Gregor's sister. The excerpt is about her reaction to the situation and her reaction only, as you can see in: "You’ve got to get rid of the idea that that’s Gregor". She is clearly upset with her own living situation and she is putting the blame on her brother in any way she can: "it obviously wants to take over the whole flat and force us to sleep on the streets".
