This implies that they will not leave their position until all responsibilities have been fulfilled and there is a proper transition plan in place.

In this context, the phrase "more distant from the guardhouse" suggests that the speaker is referring to a specific location on a ship or naval vessel. This location is commonly known as a guardhouse, which is a designated area where guards or sentries are stationed to monitor and control access to the ship. The alternative spellings "guard-house" and "guard house" are also acceptable variations of the same term.

This implies that the alarm system is designed to alert people in the event of any kind of disturbance or chaos, not just fire.

Therefore, the correct answer is "standards" because it fits logically with the context of the sentence.
