4. if you walked north and then made a complete left turn, what direction would you be walking?
5. if you walked northwest and then turned to walk the opposite way, which direction would you be walking?

Explanation:

Question 3

From the text, we know that intermediate directions are combinations of cardinal directions. "NE" is formed by north (N) and east (E), so it stands for northeast.

When walking north, a complete left turn (which is a 90 - degree turn counter - clockwise) will make you face west. Because the cardinal directions are north, south, east, west, and a left turn from north (towards west on the compass) is a standard direction change.

The opposite direction of northwest (NW) can be found by taking the opposite of both components. The opposite of north is south and the opposite of west is east, so the opposite of northwest is southeast (SE).

Answer:

Northeast
