Explanation:

To determine the snippet that best illustrates George's worry, we analyze each:

1. The first snippet: "George said, 'Blime, will we get canned now? We need the stake. Will Curley's old man can us now?'" directly shows George's concern about losing their jobs (getting "canned") and their need for the job, expressing worry.
2. The second snippet focuses on Slim's interaction with Curley, not George's worry.
3. The third snippet describes Slim helping Curley and the aftermath, not George's worry.

So the first snippet is the best.

Answer:

George said, "Blime, will we get canned now? We need the stake. Will Curley's old man can us now?"
