Answer 1

The most accurate description of a city’s role in its surrounding region is:

Cities provide infrastructure for suburbs and surrounding rural areas.

While it's true that cities can serve as nodes in metropolitan areas and that they can house a workforce, they do not universally control the governments of surrounding areas, and they may not always be the homes of everyone who works there.
