How many stories does Bruno's house have?

How many stories does Bruno's house have?

• A. Three
• B. Four
• C. Six
• D. Five

Answer: (D)

This question tests your ability to extract a concrete detail from the setting by counting how the house is described across its different levels. In the story, the house is presented as more than just a single-floor space; the narrator mentions stairs and rooms on multiple heights, including spaces that are upstairs and downstairs, and there are distinct areas such as an attic or upper rooms that signal additional levels. When you trace these references together, the text supports counting five separate levels of the house. That explicit sense of several distinct floors is what makes five the best-supported answer. To sharpen this kind of detail, scan for phrases that name floors or levels—upstairs, downstairs, attic, basement, top floor—and tally how many there are as they’re described.
