Read the excerpt from 'The Whispering Pines of Lake Superior': 'Maya pulled her fleece jacket tight against the brisk morning wind sweeping off Lake Superior. Beside her, Grandfather unbuckled his canvas pack and pulled out a worn brass compass. "Your great-grandmother used this when she navigated these shorelines eighty years ago," Grandfather said, placing the heavy instrument gently in Maya's palm. "A compass doesn't map your trail for you, Maya—it simply points you toward true north so you never lose your direction." According to the passage, why did Grandfather give Maya the brass compass?

To teach her that a compass points true north so she keeps her direction To convince her to build a new wooden campfire near the lake shore To show her how to map out a brand new hiking trail through the forest To trade it for a new fiberglass hiking stick at the ranger station

Correct Answer:

To teach her that a compass points true north so she keeps her direction
