Brief Explanations

Conventional symbols are widely - recognized (like a dove for peace) and used across many texts. Contextual symbols get their meaning from a specific story (e.g., a unique object in a particular novel). The second option correctly differentiates them by stating that conventional symbols are easily recognized and commonly used to enrich texts with deeper meanings (across multiple works), while contextual symbols are not as widely recognized and are understood within the context of one specific story.

Answer:

Conventional symbols are easily recognized and commonly used to enrich texts with deeper meanings whereas contextual symbols are not widely recognized and understood within the context of one specific story.
