Answer

Brief Explanations:

The bolded text vividly depicts children working long hours, carrying garments, and being "little beasts of burden." These are descriptions of harsh and painful situations. It doesn't make a comparison (no two things being likened in a comparative way), it's not just a story about sleep (sleep is just part of the context), and there's no metaphor of a factory (the factory is a real - life setting described).

Answer:

She describes painful scenes.
