Question
Use the passage to answer the question.
After the bassist left, the band considered breaking up. It had just been the four of them, recording music and performing together for 23 years. How could they go on without one of their founding members? But they decided to go on. “It’s like a dog that loses a leg,” one member said. “It’s still a dog; it just has to learn how to walk a little differently.”
Which choice best explains the use of the analogy comparing the band to a dog?
