A. Describing someone as a drone suggests an image of bees working in a hive.

I would say A, as it uses metaphorical language to influence the reader's interpretation of the scene, the other options are all direct meanings.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "Describing someone as a drone suggests an image of bees working in a hive".

Explanation:

A useful tool to improve the reading experience of a piece of writing is to use analogies that help the reader to understand complex concepts by using words that are familiar to them. An example of the use of an analogy to illustrate a concept is to describe someone as a drone to suggest that she or he is like a bee working in a hive. A reader in modern times is familiar with the concept of a drone, and the image of a bee working in a hive would be instantly come to most of the readers mind when someone is compared to a drone at work.
