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

Step 1: Understand the Map and Compass Rose
The map shows various locations:
- School
- Supermarket (S-Mart)
- Pizza Restaurant
- Police Station
- Church
- Houses
- Park
- Road and Railroad
There is a
compass rose (a cross with an arrow pointing up) located near the bottom right of the map. The arrow points
up, which means that
North is up on the map.
So, we can label the compass rose as follows:
-
Top (arrow pointing): North (N)
-
Bottom: South (S)
-
Right: East (E)
-
Left: West (W)
✔ So for question 1:
>
1. Label the compass rose on the map (N, W, E, S)
→
N at the top, S at the bottom, E to the right, W to the left
---
Now let’s analyze each location using the compass directions.

Step 2: Analyze Each Question
####
Question 2: The School is __________ of the Supermarket.
- Locate the
Supermarket (S-Mart) – it’s in the
top center of the map.
- Locate the
School – it’s in the
bottom right, near the railroad track.
- From the supermarket, go
down and slightly right to reach the school.
- Since
South is down and
East is right, the school is
Southeast of the supermarket.
But the instruction says to use only
North, South, East, or West — not combinations like "Southeast".
So we must pick the
closest cardinal direction.
Looking closely:
- The
school is below the supermarket →
South
- But also slightly to the
right →
East
- However, since the school is more directly
below than to the side, and the question expects one word, the best answer is:
➡️
South
Wait — let’s double-check positions carefully.
Actually:
- The
Supermarket (S-Mart) is just above the road, in the
upper middle.
- The
School is
below the road, in the
lower right.
- So from the supermarket, you go
down (South) and
right (East), but the
vertical distance is greater than horizontal.
Still, the
school is definitely south of the supermarket.
✔ Answer: South

####
Question 3: The Police Station is __________ of the Pizza Restaurant.
-
Police Station: Located in the
bottom left, near the park.
-
Pizza Restaurant: In the
middle right, on the road.
From the Pizza Restaurant:
- Go
left (West) to reach the police station.
- Also go
down (South), but primarily
left.
So the
Police Station is to the West of the Pizza Restaurant.
✔ Answer: West
---
####
Question 4: The Supermarket is __________ of the school.
-
Supermarket (S-Mart): Top center
-
School: Bottom right
So from the
school, the supermarket is
up and to the left →
North and
West
Again, pick the dominant direction.
Since the supermarket is clearly
above the school, and only slightly to the left, the main direction is
North.
✔ Answer: North
---
####
Question 5: The Pizza Restaurant is __________ of the Police Station.
-
Pizza Restaurant: Middle right
-
Police Station: Bottom left
From the
Police Station, go
right (East) and
up (North)
But again, the
horizontal movement (East) is much greater than vertical.
So the Pizza Restaurant is
to the East of the Police Station.
✔ Answer: East
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
Label the compass rose:
- Top:
N
- Bottom:
S
- Right:
E
- Left:
W
2. The School is
South of the Supermarket.
3. The Police Station is
West of the Pizza Restaurant.
4. The Supermarket is
North of the school.
5. The Pizza Restaurant is
East of the Police Station.

📌 Summary:
| Question | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| 1 | N (top), S (bottom), E (right), W (left) |
| 2 | South |
| 3 | West |
| 4 | North |
| 5 | East |
These answers are based on standard map orientation where
North is up, and relative positions are determined by cardinal directions.
