Using the Polygon Lasso Tool to select an area around a sign and then erasing is an effective method because it allows for precise control over the selection made. The Polygon Lasso Tool enables the user to outline the exact perimeter of the area they want to remove, ensuring that the background is revealed neatly without affecting the integrity of the sign itself.

This technique is particularly beneficial when dealing with irregular shapes or detailed backgrounds, as it minimizes the risk of erasing unwanted parts of the sign or adjacent elements. Once the area is selected, the eraser can be applied, allowing for a clean reveal of the background without any rough edges often associated with tools that do not allow for detailed selections.

Other options have limitations; for instance, using the Eraser Tool alone does not provide a defined area around the sign leading to potential inaccuracies in the erasure process. The Magic Eraser Tool automates the process but may not always accurately select the desired background area, especially in complex images. Lastly, the Rectangle Select Tool is more suitable for rectangular or square areas, which would not be ideal for a sign with an irregular shape.
