Explanation:

To determine the restatement of the thesis in the conclusion, we analyze each option:

• Option A: This is likely the original thesis statement (introducing the main idea about The Metamorphosis and loss).
• Option B: Phrases like "As these details have shown" indicate a conclusion - it restates the idea that Kafka’s novel is about people moving on from loss (aligning with the thesis in a concluding way).
• Option C: "For example" shows this is a body paragraph example, not a conclusion or thesis restatement.
• Option D: This is a general statement about dealing with loss, not specific to the novel or a restatement of the essay’s thesis.

Answer:

B. As these details have shown, Kafka's novel portrays people trying to put loss behind them.
