1-B   2-B   3-B   4-B  |  5 = along   6 = junction   7 = any three of: opposite, adjacent, next to, between, south of, along, beyond, on the corner of, at the end of   8 = so you're not translating vocabulary in real time while the recording plays, freeing your attention for the actual directions given   9 = study the map or diagram to orient yourself before the recording starts  |  10 = Because map labelling requires translating spoken directions into a physical placement on a static image in real time, with no chance to reread the audio; if a position word like "adjacent" or "beyond" isn't instantly understood, you lose the placement moment entirely and can't recover it later, unlike gap-fill answers which sometimes still make sense from context even if one word was momentarily unclear.
