To solve this puzzle, we need to place the direction names into the correct boxes around the compass rose. A compass rose shows directions like a clock face, but for North, South, East, and West.
Here is the step-by-step logic to find where each label goes:
1.
Find North: On almost all maps and compasses,
North is at the very top.
* *Action:* Place "NORTH" in the top box.
2.
Find South: South is always opposite North. If North is up,
South is down.
* *Action:* Place "SOUTH" in the bottom box.
3.
Find East and West: Imagine you are facing North (up).
*
East is to your right.
*
West is to your left.
* *Action:* Place "EAST" in the right box and "WEST" in the left box.
4.
Find the Diagonals (In-between directions): These go in the angled boxes between the main directions. We combine the names of the two closest main directions.
*
Top-Right Box: This is between North (top) and East (right). So, it is
NORTH EAST.
*
Bottom-Right Box: This is between South (bottom) and East (right). So, it is
SOUTH EAST.
*
Bottom-Left Box: This is between South (bottom) and West (left). So, it is
SOUTH WEST.
*
Top-Left Box: This is between North (top) and West (left). So, it is
NORTH WEST.
Summary of Positions:
*
Top: NORTH
*
Bottom: SOUTH
*
Right: EAST
*
Left: WEST
*
Top-Right: NORTH EAST
*
Bottom-Right: SOUTH EAST
*
Bottom-Left: SOUTH WEST
*
Top-Left: NORTH WEST
Final Answer:
Top Box: NORTH
Bottom Box: SOUTH
Right Box: EAST
Left Box: WEST
Top-Right Box: NORTH EAST
Bottom-Right Box: SOUTH EAST
Bottom-Left Box: SOUTH WEST
Top-Left Box: NORTH WEST
