Which code corresponds to Buffalo?

Which code corresponds to Buffalo?

• A. 4N
• B. 2N
• C. 7S
• D. 3N

Answer: (D)

Codes like this map cities to a two-part tag: a number that marks a large geographic region and a letter that narrows to a subregion within that region. Buffalo falls in the northern subsection of its region, which is why the letter is N. The region number that corresponds to Buffalo in this scheme is 3, so the full code for Buffalo is 3N. Other options would place Buffalo into a different region or a different subregion within the same region, which would not match Buffalo's assigned area. When solving, identify which region and which direction label a city is assigned in your study materials and match accordingly.
