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.
The poem the Cremation of Sam Mcgee would not be a poem if it did not rhyme.
Poetry requires rhyme. It is the art of rhyming that makes any piece of poetry valuable. Beyond this, without rhyme the listeners would be less interested in the story as one of the main assests of this creation is its use of rhyming structure to keep us hooked on the tale.
