a. everyone in the family is expected to work and bring home money.
b. young adults were not expected to get jobs until they felt like it.
c. grete is expected to work full time and be the sole supporter of
the family.
d. gregor was the only working adult and supported the family with
his paycheck.

Explanation:

In The Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa is the only working adult in his family initially, and he supports the family financially with his paycheck. Option A is incorrect as not everyone in the family works initially. Option B is wrong because young adults in 1915 Europe were expected to contribute, not wait until they “felt like it” to work. Option C is incorrect as Grete is not the sole supporter; she starts working later but isn't the sole provider, and initially Gregor is the main earner.

Answer:

D. Gregor was the only working adult and supported the family with his paycheck.
