In this reasoning task, students are asked to determine the validity of a statement regarding position, direction, and movement. The statement in question suggests that if an arrow is turned to point at Mal, it would have completed a half turn because Mal and Esin are positioned opposite each other. Students must assess whether this statement is true or false and then provide an explanation for their answer.

To solve this, students must have a clear understanding of directional terms and the concept of a half turn, which is a rotation of 180 degrees. If Mal and Esin are indeed directly opposite each other, an arrow pointing at Esin would need to rotate a half turn to point at Mal. The task requires students to visualize or physically manipulate the direction of an arrow to determine the accuracy of the statement. This exercise helps to develop spatial awareness and the ability to reason about rotations and positions in a two-dimensional space.
