In the standard block-based recording format, what comes immediately after the street name?

• A. Quadrant
• B. Block number
• C. Nearby landmarks
• D. Cross street

Answer: (A)

The format uses a quadrant code immediately after the street name to pinpoint the block within the city grid. This quadrant—such as NW, NE, SW, or SE—tells you which part of town the block lies in, narrowing down the location right away. After identifying the quadrant, the next piece is the block number, which specifies the exact block within that quadrant. This ordering matters because streets run through multiple quadrants, so the quadrant quickly resolves the general location before drilling down to the exact block. Nearby landmarks or cross streets aren’t the immediate follow-up in this standard sequence; they’re usually used for additional context, not the primary locator after the street name.
