Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: B. South
Worked solution
- West → 180° → east.
- East → right → south.
Answer: South.
The idea
A 180° turn always gives the opposite direction. Then apply the quarter turn from there.
Shortcut. 180° then a right turn = 270° clockwise = one left turn, and left from west is south.
Common trap. "North" — skipping the 180° turn and turning right straight from west, which gives north.
