The correct sentence that uses "metropolis" in relation to its meaning, which combines "mother" and "city," is:

Chicago, the metropolis of the Midwest, is my favorite city to visit.

This sentence appropriately refers to Chicago as a major city in the Midwest. Other sentences may misuse the term "metropolis."
