The correct response is: viewers must make comparisons with other maps to see what details have been omitted.
When a map does not have a scale, it means that there is no clear indication of the ratio between the distance on the map and the corresponding distance on the Earth's surface. As a result, viewers cannot accurately determine the actual size or distance between features shown on the map.
Therefore, to understand what details might be omitted, viewers have to compare the map in question with other maps that do have a scale. By comparing multiple maps, viewers can analyze the relative sizes and distances shown, identifying any inconsistencies or discrepancies and making educated guesses about what details may have been left out.
