After taking a job as a delivery driver, Malcolm soon found out that the backroads in his small town were an elaborate web.

Question

Which clarifying statement could be added to this metaphor to make it an analogy without changing its meaning?
A. He realized how many spiders lived in his town, and how large and scary they were
B. After only a few days, he decided that he didn't want to be a delivery driver any longer
C. Every road was connected, and each was harder to transverse that the one before it
D. The road that he lived on was long, but when compared to others, it was just a short detour

Answer 1

C. Every road was connected, and each was harder to traverse than the one before it.

This statement enhances the metaphor of the backroads as an elaborate web by drawing a direct comparison between the interconnectedness and complexity of the roads and a spider's web, making it a more complete analogy.
