The simile in this excerpt is comparing two things to create a visual image. To identify the two elements being compared, we need to find the words or phrases that are mentioned in similar fashion. In this case, the excerpt compares something to "cottages with the roofs taken off." To determine the correct answer, we need to find the element being compared to the cottages.
Option (a) flowers and cottages: While the excerpt mentions flowers and cottages separately, there is no direct comparison between them in the simile.
Option (b) bees and elephants: The excerpt mentions bees and elephants but does not compare them in the simile.

Option (d) stalks and flowers: The excerpt mentions stalks put on the cottages, but there is no direct comparison between stalks and flowers.
Therefore, the simile in this excerpt compares (c) roofs and honey.
