The movie was a rollercoaster ride of emotions. At times, I felt like I was rushing up into the sky anticipating the fall. And other times I was literally falling, and trying to catch my breath. Even though others will find me crazy for liking scary movies; it’s the suspense and intense emotions that keep me coming back for more.

The best explanation for how the use of analogy helped to develop meaning in the paragraph is:
It helped explain why the speaker likes scary movies.
The analogy compares the experience of watching a scary movie to a rollercoaster ride, highlighting the emotions of anticipation and fear, which clarifies the speaker's enjoyment of the suspense and intense feelings that come with it.
Correct, it is not "It helps explain why the speaker prefers visiting an amusement park to going to the theater." While the analogy compares the experience of watching scary movies to a rollercoaster ride, it specifically focuses on the emotional thrill that the speaker enjoys from scary movies rather than making a direct comparison to preferences between amusement parks and theaters. Therefore, the appropriate choice is that it helped explain why the speaker likes scary movies.
