above the equator
on the prime meridian
in the Western Hemisphere
in the Northern Hemisphere

Answer 1

The correct phrase that describes the location of X at 120°W, 30°S is "in the Western Hemisphere."

Here's why the other options are incorrect:
- "Above the equator": The location is 30°S, which means it is below the equator.
- "On the prime meridian": The prime meridian is at 0° longitude, while X is at 120°W.
- "In the Northern Hemisphere": The location is 30°S, placing it in the Southern Hemisphere.

Therefore, the best choice is "in the Western Hemisphere."
