Which clarifying statement could be added to this metaphor to make it an analogy without changing its meaning?

Question

(8 points)

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

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.

After only a few days, he decided that he didn’t want to be a delivery driver any longer.

Answer 1

To convert the metaphor into an analogy, you can add a clarifying statement that explicitly compares two different concepts while preserving the original meaning. Here’s a revised version of the statement:

"Every road was connected, and each was harder to traverse than the one before it, much like the challenges he faced in life, each more daunting than the last."

This addition maintains the essence of the metaphor while enhancing it into an analogy by drawing a comparison between the roads and life's challenges.
