Answer 1

The correct answer is; D. absolute location

Giving an address, such as “1000 Elysian Park Avenue, Los Angeles, CA,” is an example of describing the absolute location of a place.  

Absolute location is the actual point that shows the location of a specific place or object in an unchanging way. Absolute location is identified by coordinate systems (longitude and latitude) which describe the location of a particular place on the earth's surface in connection to the prime meridian and the equator. When the coordinate system is not understood by an individual, absolute location may also be given by expressing the actual address of a place. This way, the street number, street, city, state or country will be stated.

Answer 2

D. A describes what someone or something is doing in the environment. B is similar in nature and thus wrong. C, relative location is relative to a person or thing,"He is close to the statue". D is correct because the location of the address never changes.
