Question 1: Which road has the most houses where Peter lives?

Let’s count the number of houses on each road:

- Pinto Road: There are 5 houses along this road (all in a cluster to the north).
- Hope Road: There are 3 houses on this road (one near the church, one further east, and one at the bottom right).
- Smart Road: There is 1 house near the school.

✔ So, Pinto Road has the most houses.

> ✔ Answer: Pinto Road

Question 2: Which building is closest to Peter's home?

Look at Peter’s home (the black house). Now check nearby buildings:

- To the left (west) is a church (white building with steeple).
- To the south is Forest Park (trees).
- To the east, there’s a house and then a church.
- To the north, there’s a road (Pinto Road) and more houses.

But the closest building to Peter’s home is the church located just to the southwest (slightly west and south) of his home. It’s directly adjacent on the same road.

> ✔ Answer: Church

Question 3: What is the name of the longest road where Peter lives?

Let’s compare the roads:

- Hope Road: This road goes from the bottom left, curves around Forest Park, and connects to Smart Road. It appears to be the longest continuous red line.
- Pinto Road: Starts at the top and runs down to connect with Hope Road — it’s shorter.
- Smart Road: Only a short segment going from the school to the top edge — very short.

Visually, Hope Road stretches across the entire map from southwest to northeast, making it the longest.

> ✔ Answer: Hope Road

✔ Final Answers:

1. Pinto Road
2. Church
3. Hope Road
