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 metes and bounds description indicates a series of directional movements starting from a specific point. After moving 150 feet south, 85 feet west, and 150 feet north, returning to the original starting point requires moving 85 feet east.
A) 150 feet south to the Point of Beginning.
This option is incorrect because it describes a movement back to the starting point in the south direction, which would not return to the Point of Beginning after the previously described movements.
B) 150 feet west to the Point of Beginning.
This option is incorrect as it suggests moving 150 feet west from the last position, which would take the path further away from the Point of Beginning rather than returning to it.
C) 85 feet west to the Point of Beginning.
This option is also incorrect. Moving 85 feet west would take the location further from the starting point rather than directly back to it after the series of movements described.
D) 85 feet east to the Point of Beginning.
This option is the correct choice since it accurately completes the metes and bounds description by indicating a movement that returns to the original starting point after the previous movements of 150 feet south, 85 feet west, and 150 feet north.
Conclusion
The correct answer is definitively option D as it logically completes the metes and bounds description by indicating the necessary movement back to the Point of Beginning after the described directions. All other options fail to return to the original point, demonstrating that understanding the sequence and directionality of movements is crucial in such descriptions.
