Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a diagram of Earth with 5 boxes labeled A through E, and we need to match each box to the correct location from the list:

1. Atlantic Ocean
2. North America
3. South Pole
4. Equator
5. Southern Hemisphere
6. Northern Hemisphere
7. Pacific Ocean
8. Antarctica
9. South America
10. North America (duplicate — probably a typo; likely meant to be something else, but we’ll ignore if not needed)

Also, we’re told:
- The equator divides Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
- North America is west of the Atlantic Ocean and east of the Pacific Ocean.
- South America is south of North America.
- Antarctica is at the South Pole.
- The Arctic Ocean is near the North Pole.
- The Pacific Ocean is west of North America.
- The Atlantic Ocean is east of North America.

Now let’s look at the diagram (even though we can’t see it, we can infer based on standard world maps and the clues):

Typically in such diagrams:
- Box A is often placed over the large ocean between Americas and Asia/Africa → that’s the Pacific Ocean → #7
- Box B is usually over North America → #2 or #10 (but since #10 is duplicate, likely #2)
- Box C is often over the Atlantic Ocean → #1
- Box D is often over South America → #9
- Box E is often over Antarctica → #8

But wait — let’s use the text hints more carefully.

The worksheet says:
> “North America is west of the Atlantic Ocean and east of the Pacific Ocean.”

So if you imagine the map:
- Pacific Ocean ← North America → Atlantic Ocean

That means:
- Left side (west) = Pacific
- Middle = North America
- Right side (east) = Atlantic

In many simple globes or flat maps shown in worksheets:
- Box A might be on the left → Pacific Ocean (#7)
- Box B might be over North America (#2)
- Box C might be over the Atlantic Ocean (#1)
- Box D might be over South America (#9)
- Box E might be over Antarctica (#8)

Also, note:
- The equator runs across the middle — so if any box is right on the line, it could be #4.
- But in most basic diagrams for kids, they don’t put boxes exactly on the equator unless specified.

Looking again at the list, we have:
- Southern Hemisphere (#5) — too broad, probably not used unless a box covers half the globe.
- Northern Hemisphere (#6) — same issue.
- South Pole (#3) — same as Antarctica? Not quite — South Pole is a point, Antarctica is the continent around it. Usually, box over Antarctica implies South Pole area.

Given typical elementary school diagrams:

Standard matching for such worksheets:

- A → Pacific Ocean (#7)
- B → North America (#2)
- C → Atlantic Ocean (#1)
- D → South America (#9)
- E → Antarctica (#8)

This matches geography and common labeling.

Double-checking duplicates: #10 is also “North America” — probably a mistake in the worksheet. We only need one North America, so assign #2 to B.

No box seems to be on the equator or hemispheres broadly — those are distractors or for other questions.

Final assignment:

A = 7
B = 2
C = 1
D = 9
E = 8

---

Final Answer:
A=7, B=2, C=1, D=9, E=8
