Final answer:
The correct answer to fill in the blank with the flagman's job responsibility, given the context of the passage, is not definitively provided but option 'C. Issue tickets' seems the most appropriate since the other options could reasonably be associated with the action of waving or signaling.
Step-by-step explanation:
The passage provided seems to describe a scenario in which characters are attempting to interpret the actions of a flagman who appears to be waving his coat, perhaps as a signal. Given this context and interpreting the flagman's duties, the most suitable answer to complete the sentence "The flagman tells the man it is not his job to _____" would be:
- Answer questions.
- Give directions.
- Issue tickets.
- Give advice.
Without more information, it is not clear which answer is correct. However, often a flagman's primary role is to manage and guide traffic, not necessarily to interact with individuals by answering questions, giving directions, or providing advice. Still, since this is a multiple-choice question and assuming this passage is a reflection of the flagman's typical responsibilities, one could argue that issuing tickets is least related to the action of waving or signaling, which seems to be a part of his role. Hence, option 'C. Issue tickets' may be the most appropriate completion.
