Final answer:

Terrorists often target soft targets for symbolic impact and to generate fear among civilians.


Explanation:

Soft targets are chosen because they are likely to result in low casualty rates. Terrorists often target civilians rather than military targets to generate fear among citizens and pressure governments to change policies. The symbolic nature of targets, such as the World Trade Center in the 9/11 attacks, plays a significant role in the overall message and impact of terrorist actions.
