From Monroe's closer-mileage readings, what is the closest distance and direction listed?

Distances tell you how near a point is, so you identify the smallest distance and note its direction. The readings are 14 miles NE, 15 miles NE, 16 miles SE, and 31 miles NE. The smallest distance is 14 miles, and its direction is NE, so the closest distance and direction is 14 miles NE. (The other options are farther away or give a different bearing.)
