The correct response is: It indicates how much time passed during the story.
This simile compares the delayed news to a broken wagon wheel, emphasizing that by the time the news finally reached the town, it was no longer relevant or useful. This comparison suggests that a significant amount of time passed, reinforcing the idea that the situation changed during the delay, which is a critical aspect of the historical setting being established.
