105. Which of the following best completes the following metes and bounds description? 'Beginning at the intersection of Bunker Hill Road and Munson Avenue, thence 150 feet south; thence 85 feet west; thence 150 feet north; thence'
Answer: D
85 feet east to the Point of Beginning.
The description concludes with a direction that indicates a return to the starting point after moving south, west, and north. To complete the metes and bounds description, moving 85 feet east will return to the intersection of Bunker Hill Road and Munson Avenue, which is the Point of Beginning.
A) 150 feet south to the Point of Beginning.
This option is incorrect because it suggests an additional move south from the last point described. The last specified movement was 150 feet north, which would not return to the Point of Beginning by moving south again.
B) 150 feet west to the Point of Beginning.
This option is incorrect as well. The description indicates that after moving south and west, the next logical move to return to the starting point cannot be 150 feet west, as that would take the location further away from the Point of Beginning.
C) 85 feet west to the Point of Beginning.
While this option suggests a movement back towards the starting point, it is incorrect because the last move described was already 85 feet west. Moving another 85 feet west would take the location further away from the Point of Beginning.
D) 85 feet east to the Point of Beginning.
This option is the correct choice as it accurately describes the final leg of the journey. After moving south, west, and north, moving 85 feet east will bring the path back to the original starting point at the intersection of Bunker Hill Road and Munson Avenue.
Conclusion
The correct answer, 85 feet east to the Point of Beginning, accurately completes the metes and bounds description by retracing the path back to the starting intersection. All other options fail to return to the Point of Beginning in accordance with the previous movements described, thus validating option D as the only appropriate conclusion.
