On top of a hill outside Indiana, you look straight north and see a star very close to the horizon (and lower in the sky than Polaris, the North Star). A little while later you notice that the star has shifted its position slightly. Which way did it move (think about diurnal motions)?
a) to the right (East)
b) to the left (West)
c) up (rising)
d) down (setting).
I said A since it goes east to west, let me know, need help on this one

it would have gone East, to the right.
all the stars appear to pivot around the North Star, so while most of the sky appears to go east to west, the stars closer to the horizon than it would go the other way.

The stars appear to revolve around Polaris, in a counter clock-wise direction. A star on the northern horizon would be moving from West to East.
Stars slightly farther away from Polaris would apper to rise in the East, go around (above) Polaris, and set in the West.
