To determine the distance between Oden and Lundy along the straight line based on the provided information, we would need the coordinates of the two cities Oden and Lundy on the grid along with the scale used on the map.
Since the specific grid coordinates and scale details are not provided in your message, I can't directly calculate the distance. However, I can guide you on how to calculate the distance if you have the coordinates.
1. **Identify the Coordinates**: Find the coordinates of Oden (x₁, y₁) and Lundy (x₂, y₂) based on the grid.
2. **Use the Distance Formula**: The distance \( d \) between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula:
\[
d = \sqrt{(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²}
\]
3. **Application of Scale**: Once you calculate the grid distance, you must convert it to miles using the scale of the map.
4. **Choose the Closest Option**: After performing the calculation, compare the calculated distance with the provided options (A, B, C, D) to find the closest.
If you can provide the coordinates of the two cities and the scale of the map, I can help you further calculate the exact distance. Otherwise, if this is a multiple-choice question and you have to guess, you could select an option based on any rough estimates or previous knowledge about the distances in question.
