A metaphor- it compares two things without using "as" or "like"
The correct answer is A. dialogue is used.
This is not a difference between literary and dramatic works. Dialogues are used both in literary texts and in plays, so they are not something that distinguishes the two genres. On the other hand, stage directions are written only in dramatic works, and only they are meant to be performed on stage, whereas novels and other literary works are not.
D. That is in perfect condition is misplaced; this sentence could be misread as if someone thinks that your grandmother is in perfect condition rather than the antique dresser.
