Now, answer the questions:



#### 2. To go from Eddie’s house to the school, you travel ________.
- Eddie’s house is on Second Street, near Elm Avenue.
- The school is on Fourth Street, near Oak Avenue.
- So, you need to go south (from Second to Fourth) and west (from Elm to Oak).
- But since it asks for one direction, the main direction is south.
Answer: south

---

#### 3. The supermarket is ________ of Lisa’s house.
- Lisa’s house is on Fourth Street, near Elm Avenue.
- Supermarket is on Third Street, between Oak and Elm.
- So, supermarket is north of Lisa’s house.
Answer: north

---

#### 4. A police officer would go ________ to Davis Park.
- Police station is on First Street, near Oak Avenue.
- Davis Park is on First Street, near Elm Avenue.
- So, the officer goes east along First Street.
Answer: east

---

#### 5. Students walk ________ to the school after using the school playground.
- School playground is at the corner of First Street and Oak Avenue.
- School is on Fourth Street, near Oak Avenue.
- So, students walk south from the playground to the school.
Answer: south

---

#### 6. Corey goes ________ to eat at the restaurant.
- Corey’s house is on Third Street, near Oak Avenue.
- Restaurant is on Second Street, near Oak Avenue.
- So, Corey walks north to reach the restaurant.
Answer: north

---

#### 7. Eddie would walk ________ to use the Davis Park playground.
- Eddie’s house is on Second Street, near Elm Avenue.
- Playground is at First Street and Oak Avenue.
- So, Eddie needs to go north (to First Street), then west (to Oak Avenue).
- The main direction is northwest.
But if only one word is allowed, likely they expect north or northwest.
Given that the question says “walk,” and it's a directional sentence, northwest is more accurate.
However, sometimes these worksheets accept north if the path is mostly north.

But let's check: From Eddie’s house (Second St, Elm Ave) → Playground (First St, Oak Ave):
- North one block, west two blocks → northwest.

Answer: northwest

---

#### 8. Eddie would walk ________ to visit Lisa.
- Eddie’s house: Second Street, Elm Avenue
- Lisa’s house: Fourth Street, Elm Avenue
- Same avenue, so straight south.
Answer: south

---
