Answer: D. It helps readers understand what the meaning is behind different types of figurative language.

Explanation: Each time you paraphrase something, you are repeating a thought, image, idea, etc., but expressed in a new way; this piece of "new information" about the same topic helps readers figure out the meaning behind other parts of the poem that would otherwise seem more obscure to them.
