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.

If you are looking for the entry boasted in the dictionary, which guide words could you find at the top of the page?
nexus9112 [7]
Well it depends on how large the pages are, and how large the printing is. Guide words are the words at the top of the left and right pages that indicate what the first and last word is. For example on the first page (the left) it would have the very first word on that page up top. Then on the second it would have the very last word. So like I said, it depends on how large the print and pages are.

<u>Answer</u>:

- The sign cautioned swimmers to stay within the designated swimming area–adverbial phrase.

- The lifeguards on the beach watched the swimmers carefully–adjectival phrase.

- Children and their parents built sandcastles with tall towers–adjectival phrase

- Seagulls soared over the water, searching for food–adjectival phrase.

<u>Explanation</u><em>:</em>

<em>- The sign cautioned swimmers to stay within the designated swimming area:</em>

In this sentence, the word "within" acts as an adverbial phrase telling us where the swimmers were asked to stay. And the words "stay within the designated swimming area" is a prepositional phrase since it uses the preposition "within".

<em>- The lifeguards on the beach watched the swimmers carefully</em>:

Remember, adjectives are known for ending with 'ly', and the word "carefully" modifies the sentence, telling us how the lifeguards watched the swimmers.

<em>- Children and their parents built sandcastles with tall towers:</em>

This is the case because the adjective "tall" is used in the sentence to modify the word "tower", in a sense telling us the type of towers built.

<em>- Seagulls soared over the water, searching for food:</em>

The adjective "searching" is used to modify the entire sentence telling us what the Seagulls soared the waters for.
