Map with key showing various landscape features and symbols.

It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a map with a task, but I can't view or access images directly. However, based on your description and the text provided, I can help you solve the problem if you describe what the map shows or what the instructions are.

From the information you've given:

- There is a map with various symbols.
- A key is provided that explains the meaning of the symbols:
- House
- Playground
- Tree
- Land
- Lake
- Road
- Railroad
- Boat

- There’s a scale indicating that 1 cm = 4 km.
- The map includes:
- Houses
- Trees
- A lake
- A road
- A railroad (dashed line)
- A boat near the lake
- A playground
- Possibly some land areas

Common Types of Tasks on Such Maps:

Since the instruction says "Read the map and do as instructed," typical tasks might include:

1. Finding distances between locations using the scale.
2. Identifying features (e.g., “What is located near the lake?”).
3. Following a route (e.g., “How would you get from the house to the playground?”).
4. Answering questions about transportation (e.g., “Can you travel by boat to the playground?”).

Example Task & Solution:

Let’s assume the task is:
"How far is it from the house to the playground?"

#### Step-by-step solution:
1. Use a ruler to measure the distance between the house and the playground on the map in centimeters.
2. Suppose the distance is 3 cm.
3. Use the scale: 1 cm = 4 km → So, 3 cm = 3 × 4 = 12 km.
4. Answer: The distance from the house to the playground is 12 kilometers.

Another Example Task:

"Which mode of transport could be used to go from the house to the lake?"

#### Solution:
- Look at the map:
- Is there a road connecting the house to the lake? Yes.
- Is there a boat on the lake? Yes.
- Therefore, you could walk or drive along the road, or use a boat if you're already on the lake.

But since the boat is on the lake, not at the house, you'd need to reach the lake first via road or foot.

So answer: You can travel by road or on foot to reach the lake.
