correct
drawn_map
rationale
uses symbols not just photo elements
Hints
- A map uses SYMBOLS — little pictures that stand for things.
- A photo shows real things; a map shows DRAWN things.
Misconceptions to watch
- Confusing aerial photo with map (both from above, but only map uses symbols)
- Believing globe is the same as map
