Step 2: Solve Question 1
"Label the compass rose on the map ( N, W, E, S )"
Based on the standard direction rules above:
- Top = N
- Left = W
- Right = E
- Bottom = S
Step 3: Solve Question 2
"The School is ________ of the Supermarket."
- Find the
Supermarket (labeled "S-MART") near the top middle.
- Find the
School (building with a flag) near the bottom middle.
