  • The appropriate word to fill in the blank should indicate what the policeman showed to help the young man with directions.
  • The word "direction" fits best in the context as it specifies what the policeman provided to help the motor-cyclist find his way.
  • Other options (instructions, advice, warning) do not accurately describe what is given in this specific context.
