Answer 1

Answer:

The policeman moved up the street of his beat (area of duty) in a very impressive manner. It was his natural style. He was keeping his alert eyes at the people’s movements on the main road. His strong figure with a slight swagger (to walk in a very showy and proud manner) made him a fine picture of a guardian of peace. He also kept twirling (spinning) his staff (stick) in a very artistic way while doing his duty
