in franz kafka's the metamorphosis, gregor's sister, grete, asks their mother to her remove furniture from gregor's bedroom so he will have more room to move around. however, gregor's mother refuses to do so. why doesn't she want to remove the furniture from his room?

a) she feels that her husband would disapprove.
b) she believes gregor will need the furniture when he becomes human again.
c) she merely wants to oppose her daughter's idea.
d) she suffers from asthma and doesn't want to exert herself.

either a donut or a sphere or a pancake or a flat sphere. it depends on where the vertical line is.

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
