Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's trace the rotation angle of the standard directions:
* Standard South-East () shifts to West (). On a standard direction compass, moving from clockwise to is an angle of clockwise.
* Standard North-East () shifts to South (). Moving from clockwise to is also a clockwise rotation.

Therefore, every direction shifts by in the clockwise direction.
To find what East () becomes, we rotate East by clockwise:

* clockwise from East is South.
* Another clockwise from South is South-West.

Thus, East will become South-West.
