Answer 2

Answer:

A.  Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines

Explanation:

A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things. Unlike a simile, a metaphor does not use words like and as.

Line A compares the sun to the 'eye of heaven'. But it does not say 'the sun is like the eye of heaven'. It just uses this phrase instead of the word 'sun', making the comparison implied.
