Question 9 • TX-US History Studies Since 1877 A

Which is the best example of how symbols are used to help us understand maps?

Answer
A
The lines of latitude and longitude show where a location is in the world.
B
An indicator shows if the top of the map is north.
C
An image of a man and woman may represent the location of the restrooms.
D
The title of the map tells what is being shown.

Explanation

A symbol is a picture or mark on a map that stands for something in a real place. An image of a man and woman can represent where the restrooms are. Latitude and longitude, a north indicator, and the title provide other kinds of map information, rather than this kind of symbol.
