Answer 2

3. Grete, an innocent and doting sister, eventually seeks her independence. This is the correct option.

Grete is the one who finally decides to kill Gregor, her brother. Her brother has become an insect so he cannot support her or her family any longer. Grete has to get a job to support her family, now. She takes care of her brother but then becomes tired of this. She has learnt to be economically independent and she wants a new life. She has become an adult. She does not need her brother any more. She kills him.

These options are not right:

1. Gregor, a wage-earning brother, eventually enlivens his family. ( On the contrary, the family gets tired of him)

2. Mrs. Samsa, a self-assertive mother, eventually asks her children for help. ( She has always got help from her children; first Gregor and then, Grete)

4. Mr. Samsa, an indolent and bitter father, eventually feels remorseful for his actions. ( He does not change much. He takes care of Gregor but not very much).
