3. 500 S

4. 300 S

The correct answer is: 350/340 N,E,S,W

Wacker Drive is a unique roadway in Chicago that runs parallel to the Chicago River and is notable for its dual designation as part of a larger grid system. The correct choice reflects this dual nature by including both North and South designations, which correspond to different segments of Wacker Drive. In this context, the numerical designation for Wacker Drive incorporates the intersections of several streets that run perpendicular to it and thus acknowledges that parts of this route are considered to extend in multiple cardinal directions (North, East, South, and West). The designation effectively captures the complex layout of the city's street system, where one road can serve multiple directional designations depending on its location relative to the city's central grid. The other options provide singular designations that do not accurately reflect the multifaceted nature of Wacker Drive's layout in the context of Chicago's grid street system.
