Step 1: Understand the Map Layout

From the map:

- Main Street runs vertically (up and down).
- Maple Street and Davis Street run horizontally.
- The bookstore is at the corner of Main Street and Maple Street.
- The bank is on Maple Street, next to the Chinese restaurant.
- The cinema is on Davis Street, next to the supermarket.
- The travel agent is on Main Street, near the Italian restaurant and grocery store.
- The payphone is between the music store and the National Bank.
- The newsstand is on Davis Street, next to the music store.
- The grocery store is across from the travel agent.
- The Italian restaurant is next to the travel agent.

Now let’s analyze each sentence:

---

1. The travel agent is __________ the Italian restaurant.

- They are side by side on Main Street.

✔ Answer: *next to*

---

2. The bookstore is __________ Main Street and Maple Street.

6. The cinema is __________ the newsstand.

- The cinema is on Davis Street, and the newsstand is also on Davis Street.
- Looking at the map, the cinema is next to the supermarket, and the newsstand is next to the music store.
- The music store is next to the newsstand, and the cinema is further west.
- But looking closely, the cinema is across the street from the newsstand? No — both are on Davis Street.
- Actually, the cinema is on the left side of Davis Street, and the newsstand is on the right side — but they are not directly opposite.
- Wait — the cinema is on the same side as the newsstand? Let’s check:
- Cinema → left side of Davis Street
- Newsstand → right side of Davis Street
- So they are on opposite sides of the street.
- But are they across from each other?
- The cinema is near the supermarket, and the newsstand is near the music store.
- There’s a gap — they are not directly across.
- But the payphone is between them on Main Street.

Actually, looking carefully:
- The cinema is next to the supermarket on the left side of Davis Street.
- The newsstand is next to the music store on the right side of Davis Street.
- The music store is across from the cinema? Not exactly — the music store is across from the supermarket.
- But the newsstand is next to the music store, so it is also across from the cinema?

Wait — no. The newsstand is on the same block as the music store, which is across from the supermarket, and the cinema is next to the supermarket.

So:
- Cinema → adjacent to supermarket
- Supermarket → across from music store
- Music store → next to newsstand

Therefore, the cinema is across from the music store, and the newsstand is next to the music store.

So the cinema is across from the music store, and the newsstand is next to the music store, meaning the cinema is across from the newsstand?

No — not directly. But visually, the cinema and the newsstand are on opposite sides of the street and aligned roughly with the supermarket and music store.

But actually, the cinema is on the same side as the supermarket, and the newsstand is on the same side as the music store, and music store is across from the supermarket, so yes — cinema is across from the newsstand.

Because:
- Cinema ↔ Supermarket (same side)
- Music store ↔ Newsstand (same side)
- Supermarket ↔ Music store (across the street)

So cinema is across from the newsstand.

✔ Answer: *across from*
