Answer: (A)

These three general orders establish the duties of a sentry: keep watch over everything within your post, stay at your post until properly relieved, and know how to respond to instructions and problems. The first line directly sets the boundary and commitment—guard everything within the post’s limits and only leave when properly relieved. The second line reinforces that you must follow the specific directions you’ve been given and carry out your duties in a disciplined, military manner. The third line makes clear the reporting expectations: report violations, emergencies, and anything not covered by your instructions to the appropriate authority—the Commander of the Relief—so there’s a clear chain of responsibility when something unexpected happens. Other options tweak who you report to or the post’s boundaries, or swap “special orders” with another phrasing, which makes them inconsistent with the standard three general orders.
