Explanation:

An extended metaphor in a poem uses a single - metaphor throughout the poem to convey deeper meaning. Here, we need to consider how it relates to the old and new city themes. Option A makes sense as an extended metaphor could be used to suggest the positive aspects of moving on from old values and appreciating the modern city. Options B, C, and D seem to introduce elements not typically associated with a general use of an extended metaphor to analyze the relationship between old and new in a city - related poem.

Answer:

A. It suggests the merit of letting go of old values and seeing the beauty in the modern city.
