Solution

After Gregor's transformation in Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis", the family has to find new ways to earn money. Here's how they do it:

A. Gregor's work does not pay him disability. After his transformation, he is unable to work and his employer fires him.

B. Grete, Gregor's sister, does not play the violin for money. While she does play the violin, it is not mentioned that she uses this skill to earn money.

C. Gregor's mother does start to do some work to earn money. She takes in sewing work, but it is not specifically mentioned that she cleans houses.

D. Grete is indeed forced to get a job. She takes a job as a salesgirl to help support the family.

So, the correct answer is D. Grete is forced to get a sales job.
