Here is the complete solution to the map questions, based on the City Map of Bounty and its legend:

---

1. The school is on the corner of ________ and ________.

✔ Answer: Spur Drive and Avenue

> *Explanation:* Locate the “SCHOOL” symbol (a building with a flag) on the map. It sits at the intersection of two labeled streets: Spur Drive (running diagonally from top right) and Avenue (running horizontally just below the school).

---

2. Green Park is ________ of the Post Office.

✔ Answer: northwest

> *Explanation:* Find the Post Office (labeled box near center-left). Then find Green Park (tree symbols) in the upper-left area of the map. Using the compass rose (N, S, E, W), Green Park is located to the northwest of the Post Office.

---

3. The directions the railroad travels are ________ and ________.

✔ Answer: east and west

> *Explanation:* The railroad is shown as a dashed line running horizontally across the bottom of the map. According to the compass rose, this line runs from west (left) to east (right).

4. Mrs. Brown’s class is going to the lake for a picnic. They will go ________.

✔ Answer: north

> *Explanation:* The lake is the wavy cloud-like symbol located near the center of the map, just above Simmons Avenue. The Post Office is directly south of it. Since the class is likely starting from school or downtown (where most buildings are), they would head north to reach the lake.

> *(Note: If assuming they start from the Post Office — which is directly south of the lake — then “north” is definitely correct.)*

---

5. Most of the buildings are ________ of Simmons Avenue.

✔ Answer: east

> *Explanation:* Look at Simmons Avenue — it runs diagonally from top left to center. Most labeled buildings (Bank, Library, Town Hall, Fire Dept., Post Office) are located to the right/east side of Simmons Avenue.

---

6. There are ________ parks in Bounty.

✔ Answer: 2

> *Explanation:* Check the legend — park is represented by tree symbols. On the map, there are two labeled parks: Green Park (left side) and Eastlake Park (top right). So, total = 2 parks.

---

7. To get from the library to the Town Hall, you will go ________.

✔ Answer: north

> *Explanation:* The Library is located just south of Town Hall, along Park Drive. To go from Library to Town Hall, you travel north (upward on the map).

---

8. If you are going south on Center Street, you will turn and travel ________ to go to the airport.

✔ Answer: southwest

> *Explanation:* Start on Center Street going south (downward). The airport (airplane symbol) is located in the lower-left part of the map. From Center Street, you’d need to turn left (west) onto Long Avenue, then continue in a southwest direction to reach the airport. Since the question asks for the direction you’ll travel *after turning*, and the airport lies to the southwest of Center Street’s southern end, southwest is the best directional answer.

> *(Alternatively, if turning at Elm Street or another junction, the path still generally heads southwest toward the airport.)*
