Explanation:

1. The passage shows Gregor, transformed into a vermin, struggling to adapt to his new body and situation (e.g., his legs waving helplessly, bedding not fitting him), which supports the theme of difficulty adapting to different circumstances.
2. Gregor's sudden, drastic transformation into an insect forces him to confront his life (he thinks of sleeping longer to forget his "nonsense" life as a salesman), which supports the theme of sudden change leading to examining one's life choices.
3. The text does not link his transformation to luxury, nor does it focus on traveling's pain, or waking early changing perspective.

Answer:

• It is hard to adapt to different circumstances.
• Sudden change leads to examining one's life choices.
