Which street has a numerical designation of 400 S?

  1. Jackson

  2. Van Buren

  3. Monroe

  4. Lake

The correct answer is: Van Buren

The street with a numerical designation of 400 S is indeed Van Buren. In Chicago, the addressing system is organized based on a grid layout where streets are numbered according to their distance from State Street and Madison Street, which are considered the center points. In this system, "400 S" indicates that this street is located at the 400 block south of Madison Street. Van Buren Street is correctly aligned with that numerical designation, as it serves as a reference point for streets and helps in navigation across the city. The other streets listed, while also significant in the city, do not correspond to the 400 S designation. Jackson and Monroe streets would not fit within that specific grid reference, and while Lake Street is predominantly oriented east-west, it does not coincide with the south designation related to the 400 block.
