Explanation:

Question 11

To determine the example of absolute location, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Distance between cities is a measure of separation, not an absolute location.
• Option b: Latitude and longitude coordinates precisely define a specific place's position on Earth, which is the definition of absolute location.
• Option c: The number of people in a country is population, not related to location.
• Option d: Vegetation type in a region is a characteristic of the area, not a location.

We analyze the concept of location relative to other places:

• Option a: Absolute location is a precise, fixed position (like coordinates), not relative to others.
• Option b: Cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) are directions, not a location concept relative to other places.
• Option c: Intermediate directions (northeast, southwest, etc.) are also directions, not the concept of location relative to others.
• Option d: Relative location describes a place's position in relation to other places, which matches the question's description.

Answer:

b) The latitude and longitude coordinates of a specific place
