Let's solve each question step by step using the map and compass rose provided.

Step 1: Label the Compass Rose

The compass rose shows North (N) at the top. Based on standard orientation:

- North (N) – Top
- South (S) – Bottom
- East (E) – Right
- West (W) – Left

Intermediate directions:
- Northeast (NE) – Between North and East
- Southeast (SE) – Between South and East
- Southwest (SW) – Between South and West
- Northwest (NW) – Between North and West

So, label the compass rose with these eight directions.

Now let’s answer each question using the map and compass.

Question 6: Rika (Teacher → Train Station)

But wait — the options are:
A. Northeast
B. Southeast
C. Southwest
D. Northwest

There is no "North" option! But North is directly between Northeast and Northwest.

Looking closely: The Train Station is slightly to the left of the vertical center line from School.

So from School, going to Train Station is up and slightly to the left → that's Northwest

✔ Answer: D. Northwest
