Answer 3

To determine the directions for getting from the grocery store to the post office, we need to analyze the given information.

Let's break down the information provided in the question:

1. Ms. Anderson's house is 2 blocks south of the post office.
2. The grocery store is 1 block north of her house.
3. Ms. Anderson's house is the midpoint between the post office and the video store.

Based on this information, we can determine the relative positions of the grocery store, Ms. Anderson's house, and the post office:

- The grocery store is 1 block north of Ms. Anderson's house.
- Ms. Anderson's house is midway between the post office and the video store.

So, since the grocery store is north of Ms. Anderson's house, to get from the grocery store to the post office, we need to go in the opposite direction. Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. Walk 1 block south.
