o It gives the reader a visual image of how divided the countries are without having to look on a map

Step-by-step explanation:

The description and analogy of the country called Pakistan in the text above helps the reader visualize what the country looked like. The use of color descriptors provide imagery that can help any one reading to form mental images of what Pakistan looked like.
