I need help with the following clue

In line with the drill sergeant's instructions (7)

--E-S-D

The first letter is either E or D, depending on whether that answer is GUYED or GUIDE (4th letter) from the clue SOUNDLY RIDICULED A CONDUCTOR (5).

Looking forward to your help,
Jen

Thanks. It was an option but we couldn't see how it fit.
