When architect Ayla-Suzan Yöndel and artist Tomi Ungerer collaborated to design a children's school, the finished result was both functional and playful. Kindergarten Die Katze, in the shape of a giant cat, houses classrooms, coatrooms, a dining hall, and a kitchen. It delights children to this day, and can fit 100 students. Choose 1 answer: (A) NO CHANGE (B) is housing (C) will have housed (D) had housed

The correct answer is: **(A) NO CHANGE** **Explanation:** The sentence in question is: "Kindergarten Die Katze, in the shape of a giant cat, **houses** classrooms, coatrooms, a dining hall, and a kitchen." Using "houses" in the present simple tense is appropriate here because it describes a current, ongoing function of the kindergarten. The other options do not fit the context as well: - **(B) is housing**: Present continuous tense suggests an ongoing action, which isn't necessary here. - **(C) will have housed**: Future perfect tense refers to an action that will be completed in the future, which doesn't apply. - **(D) had housed**: Past perfect tense refers to an action that was completed in the past before another past action, which isn't relevant in this context. Therefore, the original phrasing "**houses**" is both grammatically correct and contextually appropriate. **Answer:** A
