I am supposed to answer the question by looking at a map: The railroad runs blank and blank.

What do they mean?

east and west

Stewart is right.

The question is probably asking the directions the railroad runs. It could also be north and south.

Thank you!

To answer the question about where the railroad runs, you need to consult a map. A map is a visual representation of the Earth's surface or a specific area, showing various details such as roads, rivers, cities, and railways.

To find the answer, you'll need access to a map or an online mapping service like Google Maps, Bing Maps, or any other reliable source. Open the map and locate the area or region you are interested in.

Look for symbols or lines that represent railways on the map. Railways are typically shown as thick lines with evenly spaced perpendicular lines crossing them. They may be labeled with the word "railroad," "railway," or "train tracks."

Identify the specific locations mentioned in the question, such as cities, towns, or landmarks. Trace the railroad lines on the map to see where they intersect or connect with these locations.

Based on this observation, you can answer the question by stating the specific cities or areas through which the railroad runs.
