What does the word "floundering" suggest about gregor's situation? he is entangled in the covers. he is failing to get out of bed. he is struggling with what has happened. he is making graceful movements.

Hello there!

In this context, it means that Gregor is struggling with the situation; therefore, correct answer is c: He is struggling with what has happened.

Hope this helps.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

what is the question?
