After taking a job as a delivery driver, Malcolm soon found out that the backroads in his small
town were an elaborate web.
Which clarifying statement could be added to this metaphor to make it an analogy without changing its
meaning?
(1 point)
After only a few days, he decided that he didn’t want to be a delivery driver any longer.
He never realized how many spiders lived in his town, and how large and scary they were.
The road that he lived on was long, but when compared to the others, it was just a short detour.
Every road was connected, and each was harder to transverse that the one before it.

The statement that could be added to make the metaphor into an analogy without changing its meaning is:
"Every road was connected, and each was harder to traverse than the one before it."
This statement further clarifies the metaphor of the backroads as an elaborate web by drawing a comparison to how intricate and challenging they are, similar to how a spider web is interconnected and can be complex.
