Answer
Correct Answer: East
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We track the last executed turn to find the current heading.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Start facing North.
- Left ⇒ West.
- Right ⇒ North.
- Right ⇒ East.
Concept / Approach:Right from North is East; he is currently walking eastward.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Heading sequence: N → W → N → E.Verification / Alternative check:Component sums place him east of the starting vertical; the last turn confirms facing East.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They conflict with the final right turn from North.
Common Pitfalls:Answering with position (he is north of start) rather than heading. The question asks “Which direction is he facing now?”
Final Answer:East
