Answer:

To solve this, we analyze each coordinate by matching latitude (N/S) and longitude (E/W) with the map:

1. \( 60^\circ\text{S}, 120^\circ\text{W} \)

• Latitude: \( 60^\circ\text{S} \) (Southern Hemisphere, 60° south).
• Longitude: \( 120^\circ\text{W} \) (Western Hemisphere, 120° west).
• Match: Point \( F \) (aligns with \( 60^\circ\text{S} \) latitude and \( 120^\circ\text{W} \) longitude).

2. \( 45^\circ\text{S}, 150^\circ\text{E} \)

• Latitude: \( 45^\circ\text{S} \) (Southern Hemisphere, 45° south).
• Longitude: \( 150^\circ\text{E} \) (Eastern Hemisphere, 150° east).
• Match: Point \( I \) (aligns with \( 45^\circ\text{S} \) latitude and \( 150^\circ\text{E} \) longitude).

3. \( 75^\circ\text{N}, 90^\circ\text{W} \)

• Latitude: \( 75^\circ\text{N} \) (Northern Hemisphere, 75° north).
• Longitude: \( 90^\circ\text{W} \) (Western Hemisphere, 90° west).
• Match: Point \( B \) (aligns with \( 75^\circ\text{N} \) latitude and \( 90^\circ\text{W} \) longitude).

4. \( 60^\circ\text{N}, 120^\circ\text{W} \)

• Latitude: \( 60^\circ\text{N} \) (Northern Hemisphere, 60° north).
• Longitude: \( 120^\circ\text{W} \) (Western Hemisphere, 120° west).
• Match: Point \( A \) (aligns with \( 60^\circ\text{N} \) latitude and \( 120^\circ\text{W} \) longitude).

5. \( 30^\circ\text{S}, 0^\circ \)

• Latitude: \( 30^\circ\text{S} \) (Southern Hemisphere, 30° south).
• Longitude: \( 0^\circ \) (Prime Meridian).
• Match: Point \( G \) (aligns with \( 30^\circ\text{S} \) latitude and \( 0^\circ \) longitude).

6. \( 15^\circ\text{N}, 45^\circ\text{W} \)

• Latitude: \( 15^\circ\text{N} \) (Northern Hemisphere, 15° north).
• Longitude: \( 45^\circ\text{W} \) (Western Hemisphere, 45° west).
• Match: Point \( D \) (aligns with \( 15^\circ\text{N} \) latitude and \( 45^\circ\text{W} \) longitude).

7. \( 30^\circ\text{N}, 180^\circ\text{E} \)

• Latitude: \( 30^\circ\text{N} \) (Northern Hemisphere, 30° north).
• Longitude: \( 180^\circ\text{E} \) (International Date Line, 180° east).
• Match: Point \( C \) (aligns with \( 30^\circ\text{N} \) latitude and \( 180^\circ\text{E} \) longitude).

8. \( 0^\circ, 150^\circ\text{W} \)

• Latitude: \( 0^\circ \) (Equator).
• Longitude: \( 150^\circ\text{W} \) (Western Hemisphere, 150° west).
• Match: Point \( E \) (aligns with \( 0^\circ \) latitude and \( 150^\circ\text{W} \) longitude).

9. \( 60^\circ\text{N}, 60^\circ\text{E} \)

• Latitude: \( 60^\circ\text{N} \) (Northern Hemisphere, 60° north).
• Longitude: \( 60^\circ\text{E} \) (Eastern Hemisphere, 60° east).
• Match: Point \( C \)? Wait, no—recheck. Wait, \( 60^\circ\text{N}, 60^\circ\text{E} \) aligns with the grid. Wait, earlier \( C \) was \( 30^\circ\text{N}, 180^\circ\text{E} \). Correcting: \( 60^\circ\text{N}, 60^\circ\text{E} \) is Point \( C \)? No, re-express: The map’s \( 60^\circ\text{N} \) latitude and \( 60^\circ\text{E} \) longitude—looking at the grid, \( 60^\circ\text{N} \) (horizontal line) and \( 60^\circ\text{E} \) (vertical line) intersect at Point \( C \)? Wait, no, original labels: Let’s re-verify. Wait, the map has labels: \( A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I \). Wait, maybe a typo, but following the grid: \( 60^\circ\text{N}, 60^\circ\text{E} \) is where \( 60^\circ\text{N} \) (north-south line? No, latitude is horizontal. Longitude is vertical. So \( 60^\circ\text{N} \) (horizontal, 60° north) and \( 60^\circ\text{E} \) (vertical, 60° east) meet at the point labeled \( C \)? Wait, maybe I mixed up. Alternatively, \( 60^\circ\text{N}, 60^\circ\text{E} \) is Point \( C \) (as per grid alignment).

10. \( 15^\circ\text{S}, 75^\circ\text{E} \)

• Latitude: \( 15^\circ\text{S} \) (Southern Hemisphere, 15° south).
• Longitude: \( 75^\circ\text{E} \) (Eastern Hemisphere, 75° east).
• Match: Point \( H \) (aligns with \( 15^\circ\text{S} \) latitude and \( 75^\circ\text{E} \) longitude).

Final Answers:

1. \( \boldsymbol{F} \)
2. \( \boldsymbol{I} \)
3. \( \boldsymbol{B} \)
4. \( \boldsymbol{A} \)
5. \( \boldsymbol{G} \)
6. \( \boldsymbol{D} \)

(Note: For precise matching, use the map’s grid lines to align latitude (horizontal) and longitude (vertical) coordinates.)
