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.

Answer:

Explanation: Here, it is possibly debatable as the decision would depend and differ due to the various factors like the past records of the applicant prior to the crime, sense of realization, his evolution after the crime etc. If they are refused to be hired everywhere it may lead to the destruction of not merely their future and career but may also result in their falling into depression and leading to committing of another crime.<em> If they are given jobs then there too there are equal chances of turning them into model employees in order to nullify the effects of their previous criminal acts or getting back to their previous criminal nature and commission of another crime.</em> It is quite a situation of dilemma which could be solved by using the personal history of the candidate prior to hiring and even after that it is essential to keep a check onto his/her activities at the workplace.

Complete the following two steps: a. Define the term cliché. b. Use a cliché in a sentence that you create.
zlopas [31]
A cliche is a well-worn phrase used in conversation or in writing that has lost it's meaning. It's been overused.  For example, "She was frightened to death to pet the pitbull..."  "frightened to death" is the cliche.
