Explanation:
Signal words are referred to as the words that provide hints on what is expected to happen while one is reading.
The signal word that points to the problem in the passage is "if". From the text, we can see that Hughes knew that the meat that comes from a single cow could not make many people sick buy that the real danger was "if" the disease was passed to other cows.
An adverb is an adjective + a verb. Meaning, it's a word that describes what someone/something is doing during the action.
A (whistle) & C (referee) are both nouns - person, place, or thing.
D (red) is just an adjective - describing something
B would make the most sense, it's telling you what the referee does with his whistle.
