Kafka knew both Czech and German but mainly spoke German. He lived in a time when Prague was dominated by a German-speaking populace, while the Czechs made up the working class. Since most of the power in Prague rested with German speakers, the Jews tended to identify with them. However, the German-speaking population didn’t consider the Jews to be a part of their group. Neither did the Czech speakers, who believed that the Jewish community was allied with the German speakers. Being a marginal member of an already marginalized community no doubt compounded the feelings of isolation and persecution Kafka seemed to feel as an individual. This sense of isolation may have also been magnified because he wasn’t a religious Jew. Those feelings, in turn, shaped his depiction of Gregor. The protagonist’s mysterious transformation into a bug dramatizes the feeling of living on the edge of various communities and not fully belonging to any of them.

The close linkage of ________ to performance under expectancy theory is crucial for enhancing motivation.
Volgvan
The correct answer is rewards.
There are various types of motivation, but all of them involve some kind of a reward, whether it is something intrinsic, like happiness when you learn/achieve something, or extrinsic, like good grades/money. It is not a secret that we perform better when there is a reward involved because we are anticipating receiving that reward and therefore we try hard to get it.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

WISHFUL

Explanation:

This righteous and lively indignation on the part of Californians after the long period of deathlike apathy, in which they have witnessed the destruction of other groves unmoved, seems strange until the rapid growth that right public opinion has made during the last few years is considered and the peculiar interest that attaches to the Calaveras giants.
