How does symbolism add to a story?

It adds a physical representation of the characters' feelings
It allows the reader to draw their own conclusions about the story
It allows the reader to explore a moral issue
It gives an insight into the inner workings of the plot

The correct answer is: It allows the reader to draw their own conclusions about the story

Symbolism adds depth and complexity to a story as it allows readers to interpret the meaning behind the symbols and draw their own conclusions. Option A only explains one aspect of symbolism, while option C and D do not accurately describe the purpose of symbolism in a story. It is not solely used to represent characters' feelings or explore moral issues, but rather to enhance the overall meaning and impact of the story.
