Which line from “Cruel Tribute” best supports the idea that the elders help to advance the plot? "O mighty king," they said, "what have we done that you should wish thus to destroy us from the earth?"
“But we do deny it—we do deny it!”
“What is the tribute which you require?”
“It is better that a few should perish than that the whole city should be destroyed,” they said.

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.
