Answer
Correct Answer: East
Explanation
Introduction / Context:In the morning the Sun is in the East. The task is to apply a left turn followed by a right turn relative to the current facing.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Morning ⇒ Sun in East ⇒ initial facing East.
- Left from East ⇒ North.
- Right from North ⇒ East.
Concept / Approach:Apply relative turns in order. A left followed by a right cancels if no additional rotation is introduced between them.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Face East → turn left → face North.Turn right from North → face East again.Verification / Alternative check:Net rotation = 0°. Hence final direction equals initial direction (East).
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They assume an absolute right turn (global) instead of a turn relative to the current heading.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing absolute compass turns with relative left/right from current facing.
Final Answer:East
