Franz Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis in 1915. During that time, people had jobs that were repetitive and boring. Which excerpt from the passage best expresses this idea?

A. Above the table, on which an unpacked collection of sample cloth goods was spread out . . .
B. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place.
C. One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.
D. Day in, day out, on the road.

I believe the correct answer is D. Day in, day out, on the road.
This sentence shows a routine and repetitiveness that is not often appreciated in the modern world. People generally wake up, eat, go to work, then return home, rest, and go to sleep, and when they wake up the next day, the whole routine is repeated. This is what Kafka also wanted to portray in his work, which is why I believe D is the correct answer.
