The correct answer is
South
To solve this problem, we need to determine Jack's facing direction based on the location of the Regal Café.
- According to the map, Light Street runs vertically. Assume Jack is walking on Light Street.
- The map indicates that the north direction is upwards. If Jack is on Light Street and the Regal Café is to his left, he must be facing south. This is because:
- If Jack is facing south, his left side will be towards the east where the Regal Café is located.
- Facing any other direction (north, east, or west) would place the café in different relative positions.
- Hence, Jack is facing South.
Therefore, the correct answer is South.
