Question

What effect does the symbol have on the meaning of the passage from "Here is New York"?

Answer 1

"Here is New York" is actually a book that was written by E. B. White and Roger Angell. And based on the passage above taken from this book, the effect that the symbol has on the meaning of the passage is that the use of "suburbs" here as a symbol for "roost" expresses the feeling of being safe and comfortable at the home of the commuters. The answer would be the first option.
