The time when additional vigilance is emphasized in the 11th General Order is?

• A. At night
• B. In the afternoon
• C. At dawn
• D. During meals

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that sentries are told to be especially alert during darkness. The 11th General Order specifically directs you to be especially watchful at night and during the time for challenging, so you’re ready to raise the alarm if there’s fire or disorder. Darkness reduces visibility and increases vulnerability, so this is the period when vigilance is most critical. That’s why the correct answer is during the night.
