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.

Ostrovityanka [42]

The feeling invoked by the author is to show the freedom of  accepting of fate by the narrator.

Explanation:

The feelings described here are numerous in small amount of time. The feeling of the narrator is at first described to be strangely fearless.

This makes one think that there is something to fear which is why it has become fearless.

But then the author describes the feeling by the use of imagery and we understand that Phil is in fact drowning and these emotions are his understanding that he will now not survive at all.

There is no chance to survive so he accepts his fate and feels strangely free.
