The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the directions based on the turns the bus takes and its initial facing direction. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Initial Direction**: The bus is facing East when it reaches the school. We need to find out which direction it was facing when it left A's house. 2. **Reverse the Direction**: Since the bus is facing East when it reaches the school, we will consider the opposite direction to find the initial direction. Thus, if the bus is facing East at the school, it must have been facing West when it left A's house. 3. **First Left Turn**: When the bus takes its first left turn from facing West, it will now be facing South. 4. **Second Left Turn**: After taking another left turn from South, the bus will now be facing East. 5. **Right Turn**: Finally, when the bus takes a right turn from East, it will now be facing South. 6. **Conclusion**: Since we started with the bus facing West when it left A's house, and after all the turns, it ends up facing South at the school, we confirm that the bus was initially facing West when it left A's house. ### Final Answer: The bus was facing **West** at A's house. ---
