Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The statement 'Swati's mind is a tree always laden with fruitful ideas' employs a metaphor, which functions as an analogy by comparing two distinct entities.
Statement I is correct because the sentence uses this figurative comparison to highlight shared qualities between a mind and a tree.
Statement II is incorrect because the sentence is not only descriptive; it relies on figurative language rather than literal description.
Thus, Statement I is correct while Statement II is false.
