Which components describe a location in the Major Street Hundred Blocks format?

• A. Only the street name.
• B. Block number, major street name, and optional quadrant or directional context.
• C. City, state, and ZIP code.
• D. Nearest landmark and color of block.

Answer: (B)

In this system, where a location is described, you pin it to the block number on a known major street and, if needed, add a directional cue to locate the block within the city grid. The block number specifies the distance along the street, the major street name identifies which street you’re referencing, and the optional quadrant or directional context (like NW, NE, SW, SE) helps distinguish blocks that lie in different parts of the grid.

Therefore, combining the block number with the major street name—and adding a directional cue when needed—gives a precise location within the Major Street Hundred Blocks framework. Stating only the street name lacks block specificity; including city, state, or ZIP isn’t part of this format; and landmarks or colors don’t provide the consistent grid-based pinpointing used in this system.
