2. Eileen rowed around 5 boys as shown. Which boys did Eileen row around in a counterclockwise direction? The first step in this problem is to just follow the lines and add more arrows to show direction. Here's our starting point, and we can just show more arrows around here to show which direction Eileen is traveling. This picture demonstrates that. Around each point, we have the arrows that show which direction Eileen is traveling. The important thing here to note is that when traveling clockwise, the center is always to the right. When traveling counterclockwise, the center is always to the left. If we look at 1, we're traveling counterclockwise over here, and the center is to the left of this arrow. Same thing with number 3, but for number 4, we're traveling clockwise, and the center is to our right. Based on this rule, we can say that Eileen is going to travel around boys 1 and 3 in a counterclockwise direction. Therefore, the answer is E.
