The statement means that the person’s heart makes him special, rare, and valuable, like gold.
Try again. Although this statement is probably true, it doesn’t explain specifically why the person is described as having a “heart of gold,” or why this figurative language conveys a strong emotional impact.
The statement means that the person is kind and loving not only occasionally but nearly always; his generosity and caring nature are his own strong, consistent personality traits.
Correct! This statement makes a good logical guess about why the person being spoken about is described as having a “heart of gold” and clarifies why the figurative language increases the emotional impact in describing him.
