Explanation:

Let’s figure this out step by step:

- P is 9m west of R.

- R is 7m north of T.

- T is 5m east of S.

- S is 4m north of Q.

- Q is 14m south of U.

- V is the midpoint of U and S.

Let’s map this:

- Start with Q. Go 4m north to S.

- Go 5m east from S to T.

- Go 7m north from T to R.

- P is 9m west from R.

- Q to U is 14m north (so U is 10m north of S).

- V is halfway between U and S (so 5m north of S).

Now, from V, let’s figure out where P is:

- V is 5m north of S.

- S is 4m north of Q. Q is way south.

- R is 7m north of T (and T is east of S), so R is northeast from S.

But P is 9m west of R. So from S: Go northeast to R, then 9m west — which puts P northwest compared to V.

Here are your options:

- 1) Northeast

- 2) North

- 3) Southwest

- 4) Southeast

- 5) Northwest

So, the actual direction from V to P is northwest.

The correct answer is *Option 5: Northwest.*
