Answer:
It makes the reader feel confident that Ellery has narrowed down the suspects who may have committed the crime and will proceed to find one of them guilty.
Explanation:
In "Object Lesson, Part 1," high school students Howard Ruffo, David Strager and Joey Buell are suspects of stealing money after they are seen at a broken in bakery. As a consequence, the fact that Ellery Queen, who is usually associated to crime mystery, stares directly at each of the boys indicates that Ellery has reduced the suspects to the three boys and will soon solve the case.
