Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and serious at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about “Out and About” but no doubt your teachers will talk about the “Direction Words and Terms quiz”! If you hear a specific term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
When you arrive in Britain, you will not 'know your way around'. You will need to learn some direction words and terms to discover places through maps and talking to people. This Quiz helps you to practise the language and terms you will need for this when you are 'out and about'.

So Answer 4 is the only one that fits sensibly in both places.
