From Magnolia to Bigbe, Meridian, or Greene County, which mileage indicates NE?

Think about direction in terms of which quadrant you’re heading in from Magnolia. NE means you’re moving up and to the right on the map, so both a northward and an eastward component are positive. Among the options, the one that points toward the northeast quadrant is “14 miles NE.” The other distances/ directions point southeast or northwest, which do not align with NE from Magnolia. If you visualized plotting from Magnolia, the northeast line to those destinations would be the 14 miles option. When solving, look for the choice that places you in the northeast direction relative to Magnolia.
