Let's solve the task step by step.

Task Overview:

The image shows a map of a city with various locations labeled, and below it are two sets of clues. The goal is to match each clue with the correct location on the map using directional language (e.g., "next to," "between," "opposite," etc.).

We'll go through each clue one by one and determine which place it refers to based on the map.

---

Step 1: Understand the Map

Key areas and landmarks:

- West Street: Pet shop, Department store, Cinema, Museum.
- Square: Hospital, Bakery, Art gallery, Park.
- East Street: Mall, Hotel, Pub.
- Primrose Boulevard: Park, Bookshop, Clothes shop, Pizza Hut, Supermarket, Gym, Post office, Library, Odeon cinema, Police station, Bus station.
- Sea at the bottom.

Also note:
- The sea is at the bottom of the map.
- Primrose Boulevard runs horizontally across the middle.
- Square is in the upper right.
- West Street is to the left.
- East Street is to the right.

Step 2: Solve Each Clue

#### Clues (Left Column):

1. "Primrose Road is next to the..."
- Looking at the map: Primrose Boulevard is adjacent to the sea.
- ✔ Answer: sea

2. "The cinema is between the pet shop and the museum."
- On West Street: Pet shop → Cinema → Museum
- So yes, cinema is between pet shop and museum.
- ✔ Answer: cinema

3. "The zoo is in the corner of the park."
- There is no "zoo" labeled on the map. But there is a park, and no zoo.
- Wait — this might be an error or mislabeling. Let’s check again.
- Actually, the park has a zoo inside it? No, not labeled.
- But the park is in the square area, and there is no "zoo" anywhere.
- Perhaps it's referring to the park itself? But clue says "the zoo".
- This seems like a mismatch. But wait — maybe the park contains a zoo?
- However, no such label exists. So perhaps this clue is flawed.
- But let's look at the answer choices: maybe it's pointing to park?
- But the clue says “the zoo is in the corner of the park” — that implies the zoo is the subject.
- Since zoo isn’t on the map, perhaps it's a typo. Maybe it's meant to be “the park is in the corner of the square”? But that doesn't make sense.
- Alternatively, maybe the park is the answer because it's in the corner of the square?
- Wait — the park is located in the square, but not necessarily in the corner.
- Let's skip for now and come back.

4. "The bakery is next to the art gallery."
- Look at the square: Bakery and Art gallery are both in the square.
- Are they adjacent?
- Yes: Bakery is on the top right, Art gallery is below it.
- They share a side.
- ✔ Answer: bakery

5. "The library is near the bus station."
- Library is on Primrose Boulevard, just before the bus station.
- Yes, they are close.
- ✔ Answer: library

6. "The hospital is opposite the pub."
- Hospital is in the square (top right).
- Pub is on East Street (top right), same row as the mall.
- But are they opposite?
- Hospital is on the square, pub is on East Street.
- Looking at layout: Hospital is north of the square; pub is south of the square?
- Wait — actually, the pub is on East Street, and the hospital is on the square.
- From the map: The pub is on the east side of the square, and the hospital is on the west side of the square.
- So they are not directly opposite.
- But if we consider the square, then the hospital is on one side, and the pub is on the opposite side?
- Wait: Square has:
- Top: Hospital, Bakery
- Right: Art gallery, Pub
- Bottom: Mall, Hotel
- Left: Park
- So hospital is on the north side, pub is on the east side — not opposite.
- Opposite would be south or something.
- Actually, mall is on the south side, so hospital is opposite mall?
- But clue says hospital is opposite the pub — not true.
- Wait — perhaps art gallery is opposite the mall?
- Let's recheck.

Actually, hospital is not opposite the pub. The pub is on the east, hospital is on the north — not opposite.

But art gallery is on the east side, and mall is on the south — not opposite.

Hmm.

Wait — mall is on East Street, and hospital is on square, but they're not opposite.

Perhaps the pub is opposite the hotel?

No.

Let’s look at the map again.

The hospital is on the top of the square, pub is on the right side of the square — not opposite.

But museum is on West Street, pet shop is also on West Street — not relevant.

Maybe this clue is wrong?

Wait — hospital is opposite the mall?

No, they are not aligned.

But look: hospital is at the top of the square, and mall is at the bottom of the square — so yes, they are opposite each other across the square.

But the clue says hospital is opposite the pub — not mall.

So this clue is incorrect unless we misread.

But wait — the pub is on the right side of the square, and hospital is on the top — not opposite.

So this clue is false.

But perhaps it's art gallery opposite mall?

No.

Alternatively, maybe hospital is opposite the bookshop?

No.

Let’s skip and come back.

7. "The post office is next to the library."
- On Primrose Boulevard: Library and Post office are adjacent.
- Yes — they are next to each other.
- ✔ Answer: post office

8. "The clothes shop is between the bookshop and the pizza hut."
- On Primrose Boulevard: Bookshop → Clothes shop → Pizza Hut
- Yes — clothes shop is between them.
- ✔ Answer: clothes shop

9. "The gym is near the supermarket."
- Gym and Supermarket are both on Primrose Boulevard.
- Supermarket is next to gym? Let's see:
- From left: Bookshop → Clothes shop → Pizza Hut → Supermarket → Gym → Post office → Library...
- So supermarket and gym are adjacent.
- So yes, near.
- ✔ Answer: gym

10. "The cinema is opposite the department store."
- On West Street: Department store and Cinema are on the same street.
- Are they opposite?
- No — they are on the same side.
- But are they across from something?
- Wait — the department store is on the left side of West Street, and cinema is on the right side of West Street?
- No — both are on the same side of the street.
- So they are not opposite.
- But the pet shop is opposite the museum? Not labeled.

Actually, department store and cinema are adjacent on West Street, not opposite.

So this clue is likely false.

But wait — maybe cinema is opposite the museum?

No — they are on the same side.

Unless the street has buildings on both sides.

But the map shows only one side for West Street.

So probably not opposite.

So this clue is incorrect.

Now let's look at the right column clues.

#### Clues (Right Column):

11. "The school is opposite the supermarket."
- Is there a school? No — not labeled.
- So this clue is invalid.
- But maybe it's a typo? Or perhaps "school" is missing.

12. "There is a clothes shop near the cinema."
- Cinema is on West Street.
- Clothes shop is on Primrose Boulevard.
- Are they near? Probably not — different streets.
- So false.

13. "There is a hotel near the mall."
- Mall and Hotel are both on East Street — adjacent.
- Yes — very close.
- ✔ Answer: hotel

14. "The garden is next to the park."
- Is there a garden? Not labeled.
- Only park is labeled.
- So this clue is invalid.

15. "The Odeon cinema is next to the library."
- Odeon cinema and Library are on Primrose Boulevard.
- Are they adjacent?
- From left: ...Post office → Library → Odeon cinema → Police station → Bus station
- So library and Odeon cinema are next to each other.
- ✔ Answer: Odeon cinema

16. "The police station is near the bus station."
- Police station and Bus station are adjacent on Primrose Boulevard.
- ✔ Answer: police station

17. "The pub is opposite the hotel."
- Pub is on East Street, Hotel is on East Street — same street.
- Are they opposite?
- No — they are on the same side.
- But pub is above hotel?
- On the map: Pub is on the top of East Street, Hotel is on the bottom.
- So they are not opposite — they are on the same street, but not across.
- So false.

18. "The park is near the post office."
- Park is in the square.
- Post office is on Primrose Boulevard.
- Are they near?
- Park is in the square, post office is on the lower part of Primrose Boulevard.
- Not very close — separated by the square.
- So not near.

19. "The museum is near the pet shop."
- Both on West Street — adjacent.
- ✔ Answer: museum

20. "The zoo is in the corner of the park."
- Again, zoo is not labeled.
- But park is labeled.
- If the zoo is inside the park, but not shown, perhaps the clue means park?
- But it says "the zoo is in the corner of the park", so zoo is the subject.
- Since zoo is not on the map, this clue cannot be answered.
