Yes, I get it.
As in the first statement, the hotel is two blocks from the drugstore.
So the drugstore is at the centre, and on its right there is a hotel.
In the second statement, the market is one block west of the hotel. So we make the north south are east west for the hotel. So on the left side (west side) there is a market.
The third statement says that, drugstore is west of the market.
So we just have to mention east west for the market, as we say it is west of the hotel, whereas the hotel is east of the drugstore means the market is in between. Now we just have to tell the location of the drugstore from the market. So it's west.
So, true is right answer.
