The guide words on a dictionary page are typically the first and last words that would appear on that page. Since "adage" starts with "a," we need to look for a pair of guide words where the first word starts with "a" and the last word comes after "adage."
Considering the options you provided:
- acumen and adactyly - "acumen" comes before "adage," and "adactyly" comes after, so this could be a valid pair.
- acute and additional - "acute" comes before "adage," but "additional" comes after, so this doesn't work.
- adapt and administration - "adapt" comes before "adage," but "administration" comes after, so this doesn't work either.
- addled and address - "addled" comes before "adage," but "address" also comes after, so this doesn't work.
Thus, the correct guide words for a dictionary page that includes "adage" are acumen and adactyly.
