Let's solve this step-by-step based on the map provided in the image.

Step 1: Understand the Map and Key
The map shows various buildings and locations with a key that identifies them:
-
School – building with a flag
-
Restaurant – "PIZZA" sign
-
Supermarket – labeled "S-MART"
-
House – small house icon
-
Park – trees
-
Road – dashed line
-
Railroad – dotted line
There is a
compass rose (a cross with an arrow pointing up) indicating
North.
---
Step 2: Label the Compass Rose
The compass rose has an arrow pointing upward. In standard maps,
the top is North, so we label it as follows:
-
Top (arrow): North (N)
-
Bottom: South (S)
-
Right: East (E)
-
Left: West (W)
✔ So, for
Question 1:
Label the compass rose on the map (N, W, E, S)
→ We label:
- Up:
N
- Down:
S
- Right:
E
- Left:
W

Step 3: Use Directions to Answer Questions
We will now determine the relative positions of each location using the compass directions.

Question 2: The School is __________ of the Supermarket.
- Find
Supermarket (S-MART) → Top center
- Find
School → Bottom right (with flag)
- From S-MART, go
down and slightly right → that’s
South-East
- But since we are only allowed to use
North, South, East, West, we need to pick the most accurate primary direction.
- The school is clearly
below the supermarket →
South
- Also, it’s slightly to the east, but
South is the dominant direction.
✔ Answer: South

Question 3: The Police Station is __________ of the Pizza Restaurant.
-
Police Station → Bottom left (building with "POLICE")
-
Pizza Restaurant → Middle right (labeled "PIZZA")
- From Pizza Restaurant, move
left and down → that’s
West and South
- But again, we can only choose one of the four main directions.
- The police station is
to the left of the pizza restaurant →
West
✔ Answer: West
---
####
Question 4: The Supermarket is __________ of the school.
-
Supermarket (S-MART) → Top center
-
School → Bottom right
- From the school, the supermarket is
up and left →
North-West
- But again, choosing the main direction: it's
above the school →
North
✔ Answer: North

✔ Answer: East
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
