In The Awakening, Edna always felt different from the people that surrounded, suggested through the flashbacks of Edna. The narrator in chapter 7 tells that "Even as a child, she had lived her own small life within herself" this suggests that Edna's action and feeling in the present are not new to her. As a role of mother and wife, she is simply not unhappy and felt the disconnection between the role that she is supposed to play and the expectation of the society. Further, Edna marries Leonce "On accident." As she is wandering out to sea in the novel, she is in reminding of her feelings from childhood by remembering about the night of swimming.
"She went on and on. she remembered the night she was far out and recalled the terror that seized her at the fear of being unable to reign the shore. She did not look back now, but went on and on, thinking of the blue-grass meadow that she had traversed when a little child, believing that it had no beginning and no end."

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.
