Explanation:

First, we analyze the meaning of "vigil" in the sentence: Jordan watched the gate for hours, so "vigil" here relates to watching/observing. Now we check the options:

• "uninterested" means not interested, which doesn't match.
• "observance" means watching or noticing, which matches the context of Jordan watching the gate.
• "disregard" means lack of interest/concern, which is the opposite.

B. observance - watching or noticing something (assuming the options are labeled, but based on the content, the correct option is the one with "observance - watching or noticing something")
