Answer
Correct Answer: South
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The question is about the current facing after a sequence of turns, not the final position. Two successive right turns from North lead to South.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Start facing North.
- Right turn → East.
- Right turn → South.
Concept / Approach:Track only orientation: North → East → South.
Step-by-Step Solution:Initial heading: North.After first right: East.After second right: South.
Verification / Alternative check:Two right turns equal a 180° clockwise rotation from the initial heading.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:South-East/West/North do not reflect two consecutive 90° right turns starting from North.
Common Pitfalls:Overthinking distances; they do not affect facing.
Final Answer:South
