Q: Analogy (compass rotation): Apply the same directional turn as in “South → North-West”. South : North-West :: West : ? Choose the direction that completes the analogy.

Step-by-Step Represent directions as degrees: South = 180°, North-West = 315° ⇒ turn = +135°. Apply the same +135° to West (270°): 270° + 135° = 405° ≡ 45° (mod 360) ⇒ North-East. Final Answer North-East
