What is the primary purpose of a symbol?

  1. To indicate a significant object

  2. To represent a concept

  3. To evoke emotion

  4. To convey a message

The correct answer is: To represent a concept

A symbol serves as a visual representation or expression of an idea, concept, or emotion. While options A, C, and D could be seen as secondary purposes, as symbols may also evoke emotions or convey a message, their primary purpose is to represent a larger abstract concept rather than a physical object. For example, a cross may represent Christianity or sacrifice rather than simply indicating an actual cross. Therefore, option B is the best answer choice.
