Answer
A
The Empire State Building has 102 taxi stops, and people can take free elevator rides there.
B
The author thinks that the Empire State Building is heavenly and likes riding in taxi cabs.
C
Hundreds of taxis drive by the Empire State Building each day, and the building has 102 floors.
D
The author has an alarm clock shaped like a taxi cab and rides elevators every day.

Explanation

The line uses figurative language to describe the city waking up to the sounds of taxi horns. The “102-stop elevator ride” refers to the Empire State Building’s 102 floors, not to taxi stops or free rides. Choice C best matches both details.
