Let's solve each question step by step using the map and the
Map Key provided.

Step 1: Understand the Map
We have a grid of streets:
-
Main Street (top horizontal)
-
Water Street (bottom horizontal)
-
Happy Street (left vertical)
-
Green Street (right vertical)
There are various locations marked with symbols. The
Map Key tells us what each symbol means:
- 🚌 = bus stop
- ⛽ = gas station
- 🍽️ = restaurant
- 📚 = library
- 🏬 = church
- 📮 = post office
- 🏡 = Adam’s house
Also, there's a compass showing directions: North (N), East (E), South (S), West (W).
Adam’s house is in the
top-left block, on the corner of
Main Street and Happy Street.

Question 1: What street is the 🍽️ (restaurant) on?
Look at the restaurant symbol (fork and knife). It's located in the center block, between Main Street and Water Street, and between Happy Street and Green Street.
So it's on

Question 2: There is a 🚌 (bus stop) on Main Street and ________
Look for the bus stop symbol (a bus). There are two:

Main Street is at the intersection with
Green Street.
✔ Answer: Green Street
