Final answer:

The example of an absolute location among the options given is A. 32" S, 141" E, which uses latitude and longitude to define a precise geographical point.

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute location refers to a precise point on the Earth's surface, often given in terms of latitude and longitude. When we examine the options provided:

  • A. 32" S, 141" E - Represents a set of coordinates, specifying an exact location using latitude and longitude.
  • B. South of Main Street - This is a relative location as it tells where an object is located about another reference point (Main Street).
  • C. Up the street from the library - Similar to option B, this is a relative location since it refers to a point based on the library's location.
  • D. Near the church - This also represents a relative location, giving an approximation of where some place is rather than its precise coordinates.

The correct answer is A. The coordinates 32" S, 141" E provide an absolute location.
