Answer
Correct Answer: North
Explanation
Introduction / Context:In the morning the Sun is in the East, so “toward the Sun” implies an initial Eastward facing. The rest is a sequence of relative turns.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Initial facing: East (morning toward the Sun).
- Then: left → North.
- Then: left → West.
- Then: right → North.
Concept / Approach:Apply left/right relative rotations: East → North → West → North.
Step-by-Step Solution:Start East.Left to North.Left to West.Right to North.
Verification / Alternative check:Two lefts equal a 180° turn from East to West; one right from West returns to North.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:East/West/South do not match the final orientation after the described turns.
Common Pitfalls:Assuming “toward the Sun” is West; that is true in the evening, not morning.
Final Answer:North
