Click to read the passage from "The Metamorphosis," by Franz Kafka. Then
answer the question.
Franz Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis in 1915. During that time, people had
jobs that were repetitive and boring. Which excerpt from the passage best
expresses this idea?
O
A. Above the table, on which an unpacked collection of sample cloth
goods was spread out..
B. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off
completely, could hardly stay in place.
O
C. Day in, day out, on the road.
O
D. One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxions
dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a
monstrous verminous bug.

The sentence that expresses the idea of a routine and repetitiveness is sentence C. As explained in the question itself, in 1915, people lived mundane lives and for them, all the days were practically the same - they would wake up, have breakfast, go to work, return home, sleep, and wake up only to do the same as the previous day. Kafka wanted to include this aspect of society in his Metamorphosis as well, in order to make it as truthful as possible.
