Question

According to the map shown in the figure, which one of the following statements is correct?
Note: The figure shown is representative.

 

• A. The library is located to the northwest of the canteen.
• B. The hospital is located to the east of the chemistry lab.
• C. The chemistry lab is to the southeast of the physics lab.
• D. The classrooms and canteen are next to each other.

Hint:

When interpreting maps, always refer to the directional indicators (N, E, S, W) to verify relative positions accurately.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's analyze the given map to verify the statement which is correct:

1. The library is located to the northwest of the canteen.
   Observing the map, the library is in the northwest direction from the canteen. However, the exact relative positioning may not match the statement’s directional claim precisely. Thus, this statement isn't clearly correct.
2. The hospital is located to the east of the chemistry lab.
   According to the map, the hospital is located to the north of the chemistry lab, not east. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
3. The chemistry lab is to the southeast of the physics lab.
   Looking at the map, the chemistry lab is indeed positioned to the southeast of the physics lab, making this statement correct.
4. The classrooms and canteen are next to each other.
   The classrooms and canteen are not adjacent as shown on the map. They are located at different quadrants separated by roads. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

From the analysis above, the correct statement is: The chemistry lab is to the southeast of the physics lab.
