Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: C. East
Worked solution
- North → right → east.
- East → right → south.
- South → left → east.
Answer: East.
The idea
Right turns run N → E → S → W; left turns run the same list backwards. Name the new direction aloud after each turn.
Shortcut. Net turn: right + right − left = one right, and one right from north is east.
Common trap. "West" — reaching south correctly and then turning left to west; facing south, the left hand points east.
