Answer 1

The answer is A) 0 blocks

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number blocks moved north ,= a = 3

Number blocks moved east = b = 5

Number blocks moved south = c = 2

Number blocks moved west = d = 3

Number blocks moved south = e = 1

Number blocks moved west = f = 2

Total distance covered by Susan = a+b+c+d+e+f

= (3 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2)blocks = 16 blocks

16 blocks is her total distance covered.
