We only know that the stop and shop are south of the pharmacy.
However, because the second statements state Rebecca's house is North East of the pharmacy we can deduce that if the stop and shop were either South East or South West to be consistent that would be mentioned.
Therefore we have to assume the stop and shop is neither west or east of the Pharmacy.
If Rebecca is northeast of the pharmacy then she is also east of the stop and shop.
Therefore she can't be west of it.
