Question 3: What building is farthest to the west of the dining hall?



- The dining hall is near the top center.
- "Farthest to the west" means we look for the building that is farthest to the left (west) from the dining hall.
- Buildings to the west:
- Theater is directly west.
- Lake is even further west, but it's not a building.
- Ball Field and Tennis Court are south, not west.
