Unit review questions
1. A new fictional route has five equal segments, each representing 80 meters. What route distance is assigned?
2. New grid columns D,E,F run west to east; rows 1,2 run south to north. Well is E2. Which description matches?
3. Two new routes have three and five segments, each 120 m. What is the length difference?
4. Map dated June 1 shows A–B–C and A–D–C. June 3 notice closes B–C June 3–4 only. Which paper route avoids the reported closure on June 4?

Use the skills in a new task

Original fictional grid: columns A,B,C west to east; rows 1,2 south to north. Hall A1, garden B1, pond C1, tower B2. Every listed connection is one 100-meter segment. Map dated July 1 lists hall–garden–pond and hall–tower–garden–pond. July 2 notice closes hall–garden July 2–3. Give the garden coordinate, calculate both shown route lengths, compare them, and select a paper route avoiding the reported closure on July 3.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Apply the column-row convention.
  • Count connections and give both lengths in meters.
  • Calculate the difference.
  • Use the notice’s dates and exact connection.
  • Keep the conclusion limited to the supplied fictional records.
Compare with a model response

Garden is B1. Hall–garden–pond has two segments, 200 m. Hall–tower–garden–pond has three, 300 m, so it is 100 m longer. On July 3, hall–garden is reported closed, so the three-segment route avoids that reported closure. The supplied map distances do not establish actual opening conditions or suitability.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
