Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key insight: plot the path step by step and compare coordinates of the Park and the Home.
Start at the office at (0, 0). Walk 8 m south to reach the Park at (0, -8).
From the Park, turn left (east) and walk 15 m to reach the Traffic signal at (15, -8).
Turn 90° anti-clockwise from east (which points north) and walk 8 m to reach the Coffee shop at (15, 0).
From the Coffee shop, take left (west) and walk 8 m to reach Home at (7, 0).
Compare the coordinates: Park is at (0, -8) and Home is at (7, 0).
Since the Park is 7 m west and 8 m south of the Home, the Park is to the south-west of the Home.
Therefore, the correct answer is South-West.
