Answer 2

The example 'east of the library' gives the relative location of a place.

Step-by-step explanation:

• A relative location of the place is the one which is described with a reference to a nearby landmark.

• The landmark serves as a place of common prominence for all the nearby locations.

• For example, when a place is said to be located at a certain point to the west of the Empire States Building, the Empire States Building is the landmark of reference.

• The location of the place is relative to this reference landmark and is thus called 'relative location'.
