The guard looked at me _ and then asked me to identify myself.
Correct answer: C. Suspiciously
- A. Dangerously
- B. Hurriedly
- C. Suspiciously
- D. Nervously
Explanation
The correct answer is 'suspiciously' because a security guard's role involves being observant and cautious about potential threats or unusual behavior. When a guard asks someone to identify themselves, it is often due to a suspicion that needs to be verified, making 'suspiciously' the most appropriate choice. The other options do not fit the context: 'dangerously' suggests a threat, 'hurriedly' implies urgency, and 'nervously' suggests anxiety, none of which are typical of a guard's professional behavior in this scenario.
