Which option is Colonial style?

• A. Colonial
• B. Ranch
• C. Modern House
• D. Contemporary

Answer: (A)

Recognizing architectural styles by their defining features. Colonial style is known for a symmetrical, formal look: a centered front door, evenly spaced windows with multi-pane sashes (often with shutters), and a pitched roof. It’s commonly finished in brick or wood siding, reflecting traditional early American design with a balanced, classic appearance. In contrast, Ranch houses have a long, low, single-story footprint; Modern houses emphasize minimal ornament and flat or low-pitched roofs; Contemporary styles mix materials and forms. So the Colonial option best matches the described characteristics.
