Explanation:

Question 14

A beehive is associated with a lot of activity (bees working). The metaphor compares the classroom to a beehive, so it emphasizes a busy, active environment. Option a is wrong (beehive activity is organized), c is wrong (beehive is not quiet), d is literal (metaphor is figurative, not about making honey).

"Shifts" means to change (e.g., shift gears, shift position). "Starts" (a) is begin, "stops" (c) is end, "remains" (d) is stay same. So "changes" (b) matches.

"Point of view" is the perspective (who is telling the story: first - person, third - person, etc.). "Mood" (a) is atmosphere, "Stanza" (b) is a poem's verse group, "Theme" (d) is the main idea. So "Point of view" (c) is correct.

Answer:

b) It emphasizes the high level of activity and busy environment.
