Answer 1

The examples that indicate relative location are:

1. **We met 5 miles north of the rest stop.** – This example describes a location in relation to another known location (the rest stop).

2. **Minnesota borders Canada.** – This example describes Minnesota's location in relation to Canada, which is another geographic entity.

The other two options describe absolute location:

- **The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, England.** - This describes a fixed point (the location of the Prime Meridian).

- **The center of Minnesota is about 45° north, 93° west.** - This provides specific coordinate information, which is also an absolute location.

So, the correct answers indicating relative location are the first and fourth responses.
