Read the following excerpts from franz kafka's the metamorphosis. match the words in bold to their meanings. gregor answered to both sides: "i'm ready, now", making an effort to remove all the strangeness from his voice by enunciating very carefully and putting long pauses between each, individual word. his father went back to his breakfast, but his sister whispered: "gregor, open the door, i beg of you." … this amazed him, as more than a month earlier he had cut his finger slightly with a knife, he thought of how his finger had still hurt the day before yesterday. "am i less sensitive than i used to be, then? ", he thought, and was already sucking greedily at the cheese which had immediately, almost compellingly, attracted him much more than the other foods on the newspaper.. … had he really wanted to transform his room into a cave, a warm room fitted out with the nice furniture he had inherited? that would have let him crawl around unimpeded in any direction, but it would also have let him quickly forget his past when he had still been human. … it was not until it was getting dark that evening that gregor awoke from his deep and coma-like sleep. he would have woken soon afterwards anyway even if he hadn't been disturbed, as he had had enough sleep and felt fully rested. but he had the impression that some hurried steps and the sound of the door leading into the front room being carefully shut had woken him. enunciating compellingly unimpeded coma-like

Hello!

I think you could have highlight the words, but, as I already worked on this, I will try to help u.

So we have these four words: 1. unimpeded 2. compellingly 3. enunclating & 4. coma- like.

And their respective meaning:

unimpeded: not obstructed or hindered

compellingly: with a lot of force

enunclating: pronouncing words or sentences very clearly

coma- like: nearly unconscious

Hope this helps!

not obstructed or hindered ---> unimpeded

with a lot of force ---> compellingly

pronouncing words or sentences very clearly ---> enunciating

nearly unconscious ---> coma-like

Please give me brainliest, i really need it.

a, b, and c are all correct.

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
