Correct Answer: South

Explanation

Introduction / Context:In the evening the Sun is in the West. Three successive right turns rotate the facing by 270° clockwise from the initial heading.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Initial facing: West (toward the Sun in the evening).
  • Sequence: right → right → right.

Concept / Approach:Apply right turns stepwise: West → North → East → South.

Step-by-Step Solution:Start West.Right to North.Right to East.Right to South.

Verification / Alternative check:Three rights equal one left (90°) from the initial heading; left from West is South.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:East/North/West correspond to intermediate steps or the start, not the final orientation.

Common Pitfalls:Assuming morning instead of evening for the initial direction.

Final Answer:South
