What does the Eighth General Order of the Guard require a guard to do?

To salute all officers and standards
To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder
To call the corporal of the guard
To allow no one to pass without authority

The correct answer is: To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder

The Eighth General Order of the Guard specifically requires a guard to give the alarm in case of fire or disorder. This order emphasizes the guard's responsibility to maintain security and safety within their assigned area. It is crucial for a guard to take immediate action in emergencies, as this helps to prevent chaos and protects both personnel and property. The general order highlights the importance of vigilance and responsiveness in a guard's duties, ensuring that any potential threats or emergencies are communicated swiftly. While other choices highlight important aspects of a guard's responsibilities, they reflect different orders or expectations that are not outlined as the primary objective of the Eighth General Order. Understanding this specific duty aids a guard in effectively carrying out their role and ensuring the safety and security of their environment.
