The correct sentence that uses "metropolis" correctly is:

"I tell people I live in Atlanta, but I really live in the suburban metropolis nearby."

In this context, "metropolis" is used to refer to a large and significant city, which aligns with its meaning. The other options either misuse "metropolis" or don't fit the definition.
