Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Nothing does more to enhance the look and feel of a home than windows - especially if your house still has rickety single-pane glass windows. But replacing old windows doesn't just add comfort by eliminating drafts - CNN Money says homeowners can see a significant return on their investment from increased resale value. Replacement windows can also help save money on energy bills every year. According to a survey by Remodelling Magazine, the return on investment for replacing your windows is among the highest of typical remodelling projects. Not to mention, these estimates are modest with the emergence of more energy- efficient windows.

Option 3: "The increase in the amount of the return that homeowners can earn from their houses by increasing a resale value."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the main focus of the text, which discusses how replacing windows can lead to a significant return on investment through increased resale value. The text highlights this benefit as a key point.

Option 1: "Windows are not that necessary part of any house to make it look more enhanced."

Explanation: This option contradicts the main idea of the text, which emphasizes the importance of windows in enhancing the look and feel of a home. The text states that nothing enhances a home more than windows, indicating their necessity.

Option 2: "Replacing the windows of an entire house may cost a lot of money to the owner of the house."

Explanation: While replacing windows can be costly, this option does not capture the main focus of the text, which is about the benefits of window replacement, including increased resale value and energy savings, rather than just the cost.

Option 4: "Remodelling projects have the highest return on the investment made specifically for the entire house."

Explanation: This option is too broad and does not specifically address the focus on windows. While it mentions remodelling projects, the text specifically highlights the return on investment for replacing windows, not for all remodelling projects.
