Read the sentence from the passage and answer the question that follows: His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. What does the word "pitifully" suggest about Gregor's legs in their current state? They are enormously long but very thin at the same time. They are delightfully trim compared to the rest of his body. They create a majestic look as they are paired with his large body. They help create an overall pathetic appearance.
