Answer:
In referring to Times Square as a “neon inferno” in the final paragraph, the narrator emphasizes both the brightness of Times Square’s lights and the fact that it is easy to turn into the most dangerous place in the city.
Step-by-step explanation:
The narrator emphasizes that although the Times Square looking all lively and bright took many years to create and is completely safe, is at the same time very easy to destroy and become the most dangerous place in New York.
Neon is a chemical element which is used mostly for lighting because of its bright red-orange color. Inferno is a very big fire that is difficult to control.
By using the term neon inferno, the narrator acknowledges the brightness of Times Square but also the fact it can become the most dangerous place in New York in the twinkle of an eye.
