Answer:
A. Be careful and alert.
Explanation:
In Sherwood Anderson's short story "Departure", George Willard was on his way out of the town to try his luck in the big city. And by taking the long process of detailing the departure of George, the narrator also seems to suggest the fact that young people leaving the town was nothing unusual.
In paragraph 9, George recalled his father's words to <em>"be a sharp one"</em>. He can clearly remember his father telling him to be careful and not lose his money. The father's words mean that George should be careful and alert of the people around him during his train journey and also in his start of a new life chasing his dreams in the city.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
