Let's solve each question step by step using the map and the
Map Key provided.

Step 1: Understand the Map
We have a grid of streets:
-
Main Street (top horizontal)
-
Water Street (bottom horizontal)
-
Happy Street (left vertical)
-
Green Street (right vertical)
There are various locations marked with symbols. The
Map Key tells us what each symbol means:
- 🚌 = bus stop
- ⛽ = gas station
- 🍽️ = restaurant
- 📚 = library
- 🏬 = church
- 📮 = post office
- 🏡 = Adam’s house
Also, there's a compass showing directions: North (N), East (E), South (S), West (W).

Now let’s answer each question.
---
1. What street is the 🍽️ (restaurant) on?
Look at the restaurant symbol (fork and knife). It is in the
center block, between Main Street and Water Street, and between Happy Street and Green Street.
It is
on Water Street because it lies directly on that horizontal road.
✔ Answer: Water Street

2. There is a 🚌 (bus stop) on Main Street and ________
Look for the bus stop symbol (bus). There are
two bus stops:
- One on
Main Street, at the intersection with
Green Street
- Another on
Water Street, at the intersection with
Green Street
So, the bus stop on Main Street is at the corner of
Main Street and Green Street.
✔ Answer: Green Street

3. To get to the 📮 (post office), Adam needs to go ________ on Happy Street.
First, find
Adam’s house — it's the small house icon in the
top-left block (northwest corner).
Now find the
post office — it's the mailbox icon. It's in the
bottom-left block, on
Happy Street, below Adam’s house.
So, Adam is at the
top of Happy Street; the post office is at the
bottom.
To get from Adam’s house to the post office, he must go
south on Happy Street.
✔ Answer: south

4. What is on the corner of Green Street and Water Street?
Find the intersection of
Green Street (vertical) and
Water Street (horizontal). That’s the
bottom-right corner of the map.
At that corner, we see a
gas station symbol (⛽).
The two choices given are:
- Church (⛪)
- Gas station (⛽)
✔ So, the correct one to circle is the
gas station.
