Answer:

C) There was a "heart of the city"

Step-by-step explanation:

Metaphor is the direct comparison of 2 properties together. In the above examples given, all other statements meet the properties of metaphor except the There was a "heart of the city". This is because, there was never a direct comparison of the heart and city but simply the stating of facts.
