The statement that best explains the effect of the author's use of figurative language is "The landscape seems intimidating," as stated in option A.

What is figurative language?

Figurative language is the use of words in a way that conveys a meaning that goes beyond the literal meaning. Figurative language is used to cause more impact or to help describe something vividly.

Examples of figurative language are:

  • Metaphor
  • Simile
  • Personification
  • Allusion

In the passage we are analyzing here, the author uses simile when comparing the landscape to a "stark, fascinating abstract painting." The adjective "stark" refers to something that is or looks harsh, bare.

With that in mind, we can say the author describes the landscape as intimidating. After all, if compared to a bare, harsh painting, the landscape must not look very inviting.
