Explanation:

These answers are based on the events in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. After transforming into an insect, Gregor uses his jaws/mouth to turn the key. The manager steps back in fear upon seeing him. Gregor's father cries and clenches his fist. Gregor tries to explain his sickness and work - willingness. He hopes the doctor and locksmith can cure him. His father waves a cane and newspaper to force him back. Gregor is not relieved about oversleeping, doesn't think his boss is fair, his sister's sobbing isn't due to job - loss worry, and the manager doesn't accuse him of mishandling money.
