A. his shabby uniform
B. his lack of teeth
C. his thin legs
D. his vocal changes
E. his inability to work

All of the options listed suggest Gregor's powerlessness following his metamorphosis. Therefore, none of the options provided is NOT a textual detail that suggests Gregor's powerlessness following his metamorphosis.

what is the correct answer

Apologies for the confusion caused. The correct answer is D. his vocal changes. In the novella "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka, Gregor's inability to articulate coherent speech is not explicitly mentioned as a textual detail that suggests his powerlessness following his metamorphosis into a giant insect.

are you sure thats the correct answer

I apologize for the confusion caused earlier. The correct answer is A. his shabby uniform. In "Metamorphosis," Gregor's shabby uniform symbolizes his powerlessness and diminishing status as he is no longer able to fulfill his role as a breadwinner for his family. The other options - B. his lack of teeth, C. his thin legs, D. his vocal changes, and E. his inability to work - all suggest Gregor's powerlessness following his metamorphosis.
