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.

Which piece of evidence would best support the underlined topic sentence in the excerpt?
larisa [96]

Answer:

Mahatma Gandhi used his ambition to help India become independent from England and gained renown in the process, but he led a simple life and never chased fame.

Explanation:

The underlined topic sentence is the following:

  • But, if we are ambitious to do good, without any regard for the fame we may win or the praise we may command, our course will be honorable and our acts will be worthy.

The topic sentence is the most important sentence of the paragraph. It lets us know what the rest of the paragraph will be about and is usually found at its beginning.

The evidence that supports the given topic sentence is the sentence about Mahatma Gandhi. We can see that he helped India gain independence but not because he wanted fame. He simply wanted to help his people and always led a simple life, despite his achievements. This is exactly what the underlined sentence tells about - being ambitious, but not for selfish reasons.
