Read the following passage and answer the questions: The old lighthouse stood sentinel on the craggy cliffs, its beam a reassuring finger across the tumultuous waves. For decades, it had guided ships safely through the treacherous waters of the Blackwood Shoals. Its keeper, an elderly man named Silas, lived a solitary life, his only companions the screeching gulls and the relentless roar of the sea. He had seen storms that ripped sails to shreds and calms that mirrored the heavens, yet his vigil never faltered. One particularly dark and stormy night, the generator spluttered and died, plunging the lantern room into momentary darkness. Silas, without an instant's hesitation, lit the backup oil lamp, its flickering glow a fragile defiance against the encroaching chaos. He knew that even a brief absence of light could spell disaster for vessels navigating the unseen perils below. What is the primary role of the lighthouse described in the passage?
