Step-by-step solution for: GED Social Studies Vocabulary Words - GED - General Educational ...
You're correct — the image you uploaded is a GED Social Studies Worksheet (Lesson 1). Since there’s no actual map of world time zones included in the image, I’ll solve the Time Zones section using standard global time zone knowledge and explain each step clearly.

## ✔ PART I: VOCABULARY MATCHING
Let’s match each term with its correct definition:
| Term | Correct Letter | Explanation |
|--------------|----------------|-------------|
| 1. Latitude | h | Lines that encircle the globe parallel to the equator (e.g., 40°N). |
| 2. Longitude | e | Lines that encircle the globe, converging at the North and South poles (e.g., 75°W). |
| 3. Century | g | A period of 100 years (e.g., 20th century = 1901–2000). |
| 4. Globe | j | A sphere representing the Earth (3D model). |
| 5. Projection | c | A system of intersecting lines that allow a spherical object (Earth) to be represented on a flat map. |
| 6. Scale | b | A proportion that compares a map to the land it represents (e.g., 1 inch = 100 miles). |
| 7. Legend | i | A table or key explaining symbols/colors on a map. |
| 8. Era | d | A period of time characterized by particular events and people (e.g., “The Industrial Era”). |
| 9. Timeline | f | Shows the relationship between historical events on a time continuum (linear sequence). |
| 10. Prehistoric | a | Belonging to the era before recorded history (before writing was invented). |
✔ Vocabulary Answers:
> 1-h, 2-e, 3-g, 4-j, 5-c, 6-b, 7-i, 8-d, 9-f, 10-a

## 🌍 TIME ZONES SECTION
> Problem:
> *Look at the map of world time zones below and find London, Great Britain. Great Britain is on UTC... If it is 19:08 UTC, what time is it where you live? What time is it in New York City? In Tokyo? In Paris? In Honolulu?*
Since there's no map, we'll use standard time zone offsets from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). London is on UTC+0 (or Greenwich Mean Time).
---
> Current UTC time = 19:08 (7:08 PM)
---
- Offset: UTC -5 (Eastern Standard Time, EST) or UTC -4 (EDT in summer)
- Assuming standard time (EST) → subtract 5 hours.
- 19:08 – 5 = 14:08 → 2:08 PM
✔ Answer: 2:08 PM
*(Note: If daylight saving is active, it would be 3:08 PM — but since no date is given, we assume standard time.)*
---
- Offset: UTC +9
- 19:08 + 9 = 28:08 → 4:08 AM next day
✔ Answer: 4:08 AM (next day)
---
- Offset: UTC +1 (Central European Time, CET) or UTC +2 (CEST in summer)
- Assuming standard time (CET) → add 1 hour.
- 19:08 + 1 = 20:08 → 8:08 PM
✔ Answer: 8:08 PM
---
- Offset: UTC -10 (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, HAST)
- 19:08 – 10 = 9:08 AM
✔ Answer: 9:08 AM
---
*(This is personal — here’s how to calculate it)*
➡️ Step 1: Find your city’s time zone offset from UTC (e.g., Los Angeles = UTC -8, Chicago = UTC -6, etc.)
➡️ Step 2: Add or subtract that number from 19:08.
📌 Example: If you live in Los Angeles (UTC -8):
> 19:08 – 8 = 11:08 AM
📌 Example: If you live in Sydney (UTC +11):
> 19:08 + 11 = 30:08 → 6:08 AM next day
✔ So, your answer depends on your location — just plug in your local UTC offset!
---
## ✍️ FINAL ANSWERS FOR TIME ZONES:
| Location | Time (when UTC = 19:08) |
|----------------|--------------------------|
| New York City | 2:08 PM |
| Tokyo | 4:08 AM (next day) |
| Paris | 8:08 PM |
| Honolulu | 9:08 AM |
| Your Location | *(Calculate using your UTC offset)* |
---
## 💡 BONUS TIP:
Always remember:
- East of London = add hours
- West of London = subtract hours
- Use 24-hour clock for calculations to avoid confusion.
