Pls help 15 points Read the passage below from The First Men in the Moon.

Keeping a welcome space about me marched a cordon of stolid, scuttle-headed guards, who had joined us on our leaving the boat in which we had come along the channels of the Central Sea.
Which of the following words could replace the bold word in the passage above while preserving its meaning?

company
shelter
formation
barricade

I’m not sure which word is in bold, but I believe the answer is formation or barricade. Those two words make the most sense in context. Hope this helps!
