Answer 1

Answer:

• It helps create a idyllic mood of those sections in which Didion describes her early years in the city.

Explanation:

Joan Didion's 1967 paper "Goodbye to All That" offers a sentimental, nostalgic, a thoughtful examination of her affections for the city of New York.  The second answer, here, is right since Didion thinks about her affections for New York to those that one feels in regard to a sentimental relationship.  Didion's picture of New York, here, can't be viewed as "clear-eyed" due to the glorified and sentimental vision of the city that she offers.
