Question 1 • W Geography_A_IC

If you are giving someone directions by describing an absolute location, you could say all of the following except "go to __________."

Answer
A
38° 53' 23" N, 77° 0' 32" W
B
East Capitol Street, NE and 1st Street, NE, Washington, DC, 20002
C
the east end of the National Mall, just past the Reflecting Pool
D
the United States Capitol Building

Explanation

An absolute location identifies a specific place, such as with coordinates, a street address, or the name of a distinct landmark. “The east end of the National Mall, just past the Reflecting Pool” locates a place by describing its position relative to other features, so it is not an absolute location. The correct choice is C.
