Question

many people use relative location on a daily basis by using ______. a. coordinates on a gps - enabled device b. their mental maps of an area c. a location’s exact address d. the internet please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Coordinates on a GPS - enabled device are used for absolute location (precise, fixed coordinates), not relative location. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Mental maps of an area help people understand the relative positions of places (e.g., knowing that a park is near a school based on one's mental representation of the area). This is consistent with using relative location.
• Option C: A location's exact address is an example of absolute location as it provides a precise, fixed location. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: The Internet is a broad resource and not a direct means of using relative location. It can be used to access maps (which may show relative or absolute locations), but the Internet itself isn't the method for using relative location. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. their mental maps of an area
