Guide words refer to the words printed at the top of a page to indicate the first and last entry that someone can find on that page. They are used in alphabetical reference works such as dictionaries in order to guide the reader.  As words are presented in alphabetical order, "plea" is not the correct option because it goes before "plead" (the word "plead" has a "d" at the end). Furthermore, "poetry" and "poultry" have "e" and "u" after "po"; therefore, they come after "poach", which is the last word on the page and has an "a" after "po". In that way, "pliers" is the correct option since it can be found after "plead" and before "poultry".

explanation:

the symbol of the grandfather's heritage in this excerpt from "the medicine bag,” is the beaded bolo tie.

a bolo tie is a cord fastened around the neck with an ornamental clasp which is worn as a necktie. they have been used by native american tribes such as hopi, navajo, zuni, and puebloans since the mid-20th century.

therefore, the fact that the grandfather is wearing a bolo tie refers to his heritage as native american.
