Which option best describes Bruno's Berlin home?

• A. A five-story house with a window on the top floor and a banister
• B. A one-story cottage
• C. A three-story building with no special features
• D. A six-story apartment building

Answer: (A)

Bruno’s Berlin home is described as a large, private city house, not a cottage or an apartment block. The details given—several levels, plus a window on the top floor and a visible banister—signal a multi-story residence with an interior staircase, characteristic of a substantial family home. That’s why the description of a large, multi-story house fits best: it captures the scale and domestic features that show Bruno’s life in a comfortable city home. The other options describe smaller or different kinds of buildings—one-story cottages, plain mid-sized buildings with no standout features, or a tall apartment block—that don’t match the book’s depiction of Bruno’s family dwelling.
