The major theme of the text is D. Resolving inner conflict may mean dealing with the past.

Throughout the passage, the protagonist, a Native-American girl, is torn between her current life at the mission school and her longing for her previous life with her own people and traditions. She is conflicted between the influences and teachings of the missionaries and her desire to return to her father's tepee and embrace her native culture. This internal conflict grows over time, and she becomes overwhelmed by her longing for her old life. The smell of the buckskin triggers her memories and intensifies her yearning for her childhood recollections.

The theme of resolving inner conflict emerges when the protagonist confronts Father Paul, the missionary, and demands to be allowed to go "home" for a day. Despite his refusal, her desire to reconcile with her past and her people does not fade. She frequently sneaks away to watch the sunset near the village border and yearns for her father's lodge. Laurence, her childhood playmate and later love interest, attempts to make her happy and convince her to stay. However, it is in their moment of intimacy, where her love for him becomes apparent, that the protagonist realizes she must confront and resolve the conflict within herself.

The passage suggests that the protagonist's happiness and fulfillment lie in reconciling her past with her present, acknowledging her longing for her native culture, and finding a way to integrate both aspects of her identity. In order to move forward, she must come to terms with her past and make peace with her inner struggles. Therefore, the major theme of the text is the resolution of inner conflict by dealing with the past.

The two excerpts that best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation are:

1. He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he could not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation—with everyone's permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.

2. Gregor never responded to being spoken to in that way, but just remained where he was without moving as if the door had never even been opened. If only they had told this charwoman to clean up his room every day instead of letting her disturb him for no reason whenever she felt like it!

The excerpts are taken from 'The Metamorphosis' by Franz Kafka. The above two excerpts reflect how Gregor's isolated condition was after he transformed.

For instance, he used to spend time in his dark room, watching things for hours without him being watched by anyone else. Also, he never liked communicating with any of his family members.

I believe that the excerpt which best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation is the first one:

He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he could not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation—with everyone's permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.

It shows how his family were all together, his parents and his sister, enjoying their time watching TV and talking, while he was in the other room all alone, with no one to talk to. He is lonely and completely isolated after his transformation, although he used to be the same thing even before he became a bug.

All of them were usually very quiet nowadays. Soon after dinner, his father would go to sleep in his chair; his mother and sister would urge each other to be quiet; his mother, bent deeply under the lamp, would sew fancy underwear for a fashion shop; his sister, who had taken a sales job, learned shorthand and French in the evenings so that she might be able to get a better position later on.
