Answer: C) she is not strong enough to stand up to the grandmother and D) she is not very bright.

Explanation: By reading O'Connor's description of Bailey's wife we can infer that she is not strong enough to stand up to the grandmother, because he describes her as "innocent" and with a "broad face" that description gives the idea of a calm woman who doesn't stand up against anyone. We can also infer that she is not very bright, because O'Connor compares her with a cabbage.

An unpleasant episode occurred between Gregor, his father, and the Samsa family's boarders. It centered on Gregor's sister, Gret
Alik [6]

Answer:

The unpleasant episode can be seen in the third chapter of the text where Grete was playing her violin and the boarders as well as her family were around, listening.

Explanation:

Franz Kafka's science fictional novella "Metamorphosis" tells the story of how the character Gregor Samsa's transformation into a bug had sent his life in turmoil. The bug became a menace to his family and even ruined their family's income source, leading them to finally move some place else.

The scene where Gregor had ruined his family's prospects was in Chapter III where he had been seen by the boarders. In order to maintain their family sustenance, they had given one of the rooms for boarding and it had been occupied by three gentlemen for sometime now. One day, while Grete was playing the violin, the music drew Gregor to it and he went nearer. But the boarders saw the disgusting creature and threatened to leave immediately. Not only that, they even told Gregor's father that due to the deplorable and odorous situation of the place, they will not be paying even for the previous days' stay.

This scene not only left them with no income but it was also the scene where the whole family decided it's time to get rid of Gregor, for he is a bug and not their son Gregor. This is the unpleasant episode that occurred between Gregor and his family and also the boarders, centered on the music played by Grete.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

“It was as though madness had infected all of us.”

Explanation:

A mad person cannot be held responsible for his or her actions, so by saying that 'madness had infected' all of them, the author is trying to justify their binding and gagging Mrs. Schachter because the situation was really intolearble for all of the prisoners.  

"Our terror could no longer be contained. Our nerves had reached a breaking point. Our very skin was aching. It was as though madness had infected all of us. We gave up."

Igoryamba

Read these lines from "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and answer the question.
harkovskaia [24]
I'm kind of confused as to what is being asked.... but this is my best answer.
SOCIAL Prejudice, (maybe legal if we talk about the consequence to his actions)

why it cant be the others--->
racial ---- they say nothing about race here.
(MAYBE) legal----- from the passage, we can say that the guy is richhhhh, and he might be able to wave off the consequences of his murder. but then again you only analyze this passage so, probably not
environmental---- they don't mention the environment....

THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE SOCIAL- their social standings in this situation 
-diamond ring (if thats what they mean by diamond ring finger, it could mean something else as well) only the rich can afford, a cane too
- hotel society gathering... (rich)
-poor Hattie Carroll could be literal as well.
