Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Analyze Option 1: The lyrics focus on personal struggles with negative thoughts, not on the Garden of Eden being "okay" as a lonely place. So this is incorrect.
  • Analyze Option 2: The lyrics don't show her complaining about disliking others or others disliking her; they focus on internal struggles and trust issues. So this is incorrect.
  • Analyze Option 3: In the lyrics, negative thoughts are compared to "set in cement" (stubborn), "spiders from the drain" (scary), "poisonous snake" (scary), etc. This uses metaphors to communicate her experience. This matches.
  • Analyze Option 4: She doesn't say "outright" she feels isolated; she uses imagery and metaphors. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. She uses metaphors comparing negative thoughts to stubborn and scary things.
